Pick-up times are approximate Tim Bourke’s Problem – Solution The Crocodile Coup by Richard Hills The surest way to make twelve tricks is to set up dummy's spade suit. After winning 2009 Australian National Championships the opening lead with the ace of clubs, your Burley Griffin Teams, Match 7, Board 2 first move step should be to play a trump to Dlr: East; Vul: North-South the ace in your hand. If they prove to be 4-0, The bidding has gone: you would need a 3-3 spade break and so would play the spade ace-king and ruff a WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH spade. If the spades did break, you could Elainne Richard John Hashmat then cross to the queen of trumps and play Leach Hills Brockwell Ali good spades, throwing your remaining --- --- Pass 2♣ (1) diamond losers.

(1) 10-14 hcp, 6+ clubs, denies another 4- card suit When both opponents follow to the first (2) natural, non-forcing, maybe game round of trumps, this is the type of hostile invitational layout where you need to find the right play (3) now indeed game invitational to succeed: You, East, hold: ♠ A K 8 5 4 2 ♠ AQJ73 ♥ K Q 5 ♥ J8 ♦ 6 4 ♦ T43 ♣ A 7 ♣ 853 ♠ 10 7 ♠ Q J 9 6 ♥ J 10 8 ♥ 2 What is your opening lead? ♦ K 10 9 7 ♦ J 8 Solution next page. ♣ K Q J 4 ♣10 9 8 6 5 2 ♠ 3 ♥ A 9 7 6 4 3 ♦ A Q 5 3 2 ♣ 3 The way to overcome any 4-2 spade break is to play the three of spades from hand and the two from dummy! Then you will be able to win the return, cross to dummy with the queen of trumps and ruff a spade in your hand. You can then get back to dummy with the kin g of trumps, drawing West's last trump in the process, and discard your four diamond losers on the spade ace-king and the two long spades.

  • Crocodile Coup
    Crocodile Coup Let’s face it. There are some plays or maneuvers in bridge that are just more interesting than others......if only for the name they carry. Such is the Crocodile Coup. A favorite subject of bridge players is declarer play and, specifically, card combinations. Usually, with a sense of humor, they present situations as best they can and solicit comments, suggestions, and remedies of the situation. This is how the situation called the Crocodile Coup got its name. A crocodile just swims above the surface of the water and opens its mouth wide, thus presenting itself as an impending threat. Anyone observing this action would take steps to retreat before the jaws of the crocodile reach out for him. In bridge there are situations when the opponents become the crocodile. A Crocodile Coup is a defensive maneuver and portrays itself as a threatening action to prevent declarer from following through an intended endplay. It could also be only a scare tactic in order to deceive declarer into believing that his course of action is threatened thus causing declarer to change his plan. The normal execution of a Crocodile Coup is when one defender steps up to play an unnecessarily high card in order to snap up his partner’s high card (but not as high as his card) so that partner doesn’t get endplayed. An example: North Auction: ♠K64 West North East South ♥Q982 2♦ Pass Pass 3♥ ♦742 Pass 4♥ Pass Pass ♣Q74 Pass West East ♠QJ2 ♠A109853 ♥10 ♥75 ♦AQJ986 ♦K ♣932 ♣J1086 South ♠7 ♥AKJ643 ♦1053 ♣AK5 West leads the Queen of Spades, which holds the trick.
