A
lead problem from the Teltscher Trials.
EW Vul. IMPs Dealer West
(1)
Spades and a minor
(2)
Void in hearts
What
do you lead?
The
trials for the Senior home internationals were held at
Manchester Bridge Club in late January.
On
this early deal Sally Brock was on lead and chose the club
king.
Patrick
Shields' clever bluff bid sitting North only cost EW an
overtrick as Richard Chamberlain had the heart king, but
the layout might have been different.
And
if Patrick had jumped to seven spades instead of bidding
six hearts what would Sally have led?
The
full deal is below.
