Solution of the play problem from the match with Croatia

Croatia board 1, 2

 

Contract 6. Lead 10, you played the jack, which won the trick.

The main point – If you ruff the fourth round of hearts, maybe South will overruff from a four-card trump holding.

 

Order of play:

2. Ace of diamonds, small safety play against a singleton diamondwith South.

3. A heart to the ace.

4. A spade to the king.

5. A heart to the king, if South ruffs, then we draw trumps.

6. Heart ruffed.

 

The result from the Closed Rooms:

Contract 3NT: +430 for EW.

Correct play: +920 = +10 IMP.

Down one: –50 = –10 IMP.
