Here are the answers to last week's question.

This hand illustrates two points:

  1. There are different strategies for MP's and Imp's.

  2. It is frequently better to count winners than losers.

Solution at MP's: Throw a spade on the king of diamonds and hope clubs are no worse than 4-3 (about 50-50) in which case you can ruff two clubs and make 7.

Solution at IMP's: Lead a club to your hand at trick 2 and lead a spade! If clubs split 4-3 you will always make 6, but if they split 5-2 you need the king of spades for your 12th trick.
