Would you make this 6NT?

Post by rod »

My solitaire bridge app dealt this one today. You are South declaring 6NT after an auction best not discussed.

North
♠ J42
J83
KQJ54
♣ J7

South
♠ AK10975
AK
A
♣ AK108

West leads the 4 and East follows with the 2. What is your plan?

The ♠A fetches the 8 from West and the 3 from East.

Do you see that you can cash the A and then table the ♠10 to guarantee the contract?

It was pointed out to me that in case a defender has all four spades, it's better to start spades with the 10 rather than the ace.
