What is your
plan for 12 tricks?
Solution:
At the Easter tournament a friendly match between
England and Austria Womens teams, was won by England. This deal
played by Liz McFowan was crucial to England's win by 8 IMPs.
At both
tables West, having pre-empted in spades, led
K
against South's 6.
Doris
Fischer, in the other table, won in dummy, threw a club from
hand, finessed
J
cashed
K,
picked up the trumps and threw another club on
A,
but still lost two clubs at the end.
See all hands:

Liz McGowan
ruffed the spade lead, cashed
K,
finessed
10,
cashed
Q,
and
A
throwing a club, finessed
J
and then ran the trumps KEEPING
K
This was the
ending:
On the
last trump, a spade went from dummy and East had to resign. A
club discard let Liz set up the suit with
K
as entry. (Note: If West had
J-x East must
unblock
K-Q)
