I have a LOT more of these... all degree's of difficulty. Let me know when there has been too many.

Scoring: IMP


West North East South

    -     -     Pass  1♠
 Pass  2♣    Pass  2♥
 Pass  3♠    Pass  4♠
 Pass  4NT   Pass  6♣
 Pass  6♠    Pass  Pass
 Pass  


Opening lead DIAMOND JACK, and you let your king win. Next?

This hand is more of a "concept" hand. This means, this means you may get the concept and still go down, but you would deserve full credit in solving the problem if you do.

Keep them coming, these are great.

This is a nice puzzle, it might even be suitable for the beginners/intermediate forum. If you'd ask for the odds, now then it would be really tough!
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

♠A at start looking for ♠K bared onside, if that doesn´t happen* you must try endplay, win ♥A, ♦A and ♥K exit with a ♠.

I can´t see anyting better so I supose I am down, and ♠J is bare on the right side :).


*: if ♠K drops stiff on the wrong side you win ♠Q, ♦A, and ALL the ♥ (fiennesinig west if neccesary), that way you won´t even need 2♥ with the ♠trick, only ♣K :).

well hell, i'm not making this.. even taking fluffy's endplay, whoever wins the ♠K has to be something like 2/2/5/4... with 3 hearts it seems you're still down

but i think that's the only chance

This is probably wrong, but I would try this: play a heart to the A, cash the A of ♦, and lead the Q of ♠.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy - but it might improve my bridge.
