None Vul. IMPs Dealer North
The
Young Chelsea Bridge Club holds an IMP pairs event
every Friday. This event is well attended and
attracts a fair smattering of the better London
players.
On
this deal South's two notrump rebid shows 15 to 19
points. Partner leads the ace of spades (ace
for attitude), so you encourage with the nine, since
your jack will be a third round winner.
Partner now plays the king of spades, which spade do
you play?
Solution Counting
the points it is likely that partner has nothing
useful outside the spade suit. If partner has
good enough spades though you can unblock the spade
jack and win the ace of hearts to play the spade two
through.
The full deal
Partner's
ten and six over declarer's seven and five is just
good enough!
