Movie #6 : page 2
His partner having doubled a slam, your left-hand opponent
surely would have led an ace
if he had held one. Moreover,
even though RHO might well have all the missing trumps, he wouldn't
have anything resembling a double without the club ace
.
So concluding, you overtake the diamond ten
with the queen
,
ruff a diamond with the ace
of spades, and call for the
deuce
of clubs!
East's heart return is grabbed by your ace
, another diamond ruffed
high, and trumps are drawn. Now a finesse of the club jack
sees
you home.
Note: in the end-position, the club finesse wasn't even needed; cashing
the diamond ace
and the last spade would have squeezed west in the
round suits. Come to think of it, perhaps the more elegant play would
have been to call for the club jack
at trick three!
Style points are everything!
