beth_leonardI don't know if anyone who reads my journal likes bridge, but here is my current bridge quiz -- is it possible to make 4S on this hand?
Bidding - opponents silent, partner opens: 1C - 1S - 3S - P
Opening lead, small diamond.
Ok declarer, what's your plan?
As it turns out, the Diamond Ace is to the right, club K on the left, and the spades break 4-1 to with 4 on the left with the jack. We went down 1 (making 2) but after the night was over I think I see how to have made 3 (with one very weak assumption that I can't test anymore because I don't remember *all* of the opponents cards.) I don't know if there's any way to make four, and it seems like I was correct to not bid it in this case.
