"Задача на седмицата за напреднали - архив"

 





Hi, there!  

Now something much easier -- just for you. You are South as usual. Team of four, both vul and after simple and unrevealing bidding you arrive at 4. West leads a small heart, ace from East. Second heart, you insert the ten with much hope. No justice -- jack from West, who continues with the heart king.

Now it is your time to shine or ...  

No more than a week!


 
Hi, there!
Are you like Andrew Robson (many times and many kinds of champion, was in Plovdiv 1988)? If yes, take the East seat at the prestigious Lederer Memorial Team Championship.

Neither vul, dealer North:
 
North East South West
1 Pass 1 Pass
2 Pass 3 (1) Double
3 Pass 4 NT Pass
5 (2) Pass 6 All Pass


 
(1) Fourth suit forcing.
(2) One key card = K.  

West leads K, diamond from dummy and declarer's ace. Next comes 5 from hand, 2 from partner (shows probably even number of cards in diamonds) queen from dummy for your ace. How will you continue?
Now it is your time to shine or ...  

No more than a week!

Hi, there! The new semester is starting. I am back in Washington D.C.
Please, fasten your seat belts.
This time you are South at teams
(EW vul, dealer South).
Remember EW are world champions (Hamman & Soloway):
You open the bidding 1 and partner jumps to 3NT promising 3 cards in spades and flat distribution. Not knowing precisely what to do you move to 4, all pass. West leads 3 (likely forth best), small from dummy, ten and you win the King. Next 2, small, Queen, Ace from East, who returns J -- 2, 6, Ace (West certainly has led from Q763). Small trump to the Ace -- all follow low. Your reflection: "Da mu ..., 3NT izglejda regal!".
But you are in four spades and now it is your time to shine or ...

You lead a high club and partner produces the Queen. He looks like a man having five to the Queen, Jack, e.t.c. Now you have to plan your campaign in order to justify your bidding.

West leads J. You play an easy Q, but the King appears from East, who returns 10. You are in danger now. You might have played the A first, then draw trumps and end-play West with the king of clubs. Anyway, the King is off-side, the end-play is futile and your glory as a local champion is at stake. 
So, It is your time to shine or ...
