Scoring: MP


After a lively auction, South ends up declaring 6♥ and gets a trump lead. I think I found the only legitimate line to bring this dog home. Any takers?

QJ tight of diamonds + a club/diamond squeeze? Maybe a complex squeeze position?

You forgot to tell us the auction, but if this is the layout you have the choice of several successful lines, well bid!


That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

It looks like a one-suit problem: the 11th and 12th tricks must be the ♦T and fourth diamond. So what's the best percentage play? A singleton honor with righty, or QJx with lefty, or QJ tight either way? :)

With the exception of an ambiguous "several lines" idea, which might include the idea I had, everyone else seems to be missing an obvious alternative line, I think, which was the one I selected. As a bonus, and a clue, it also actually compresses two losers into one when the line fails, which lets you out for down one when some in the field might be binskied for down one as well.
