This deal happened when I just open my eyes this morning. I hadn't imagined meeting such interesting deal in Xinrui ever before.
K86 K53 83 KJ643
AQ54 A64 AK62 A2
Contract: 6NT
Declarer: South
Lead: ♢Q
I won with the ♢A. And then cashing ♣A, trying to finesse ♣Q in West normally. Unfortunately, East won with the ♣Q and returned ♠J. And now how to play?
3♠, 2♡, 2♢, 4♣, totally 11 tricks where you must suppose ♣ was under a normal distribution. Where was the 12 tricks? Except ♠3-3, was there any chance? If you have read "Bridge Squeeze Complete", the format of type C1 might impress you. Assuming that West hold 5♢, then North had common threaten ♡3 and free suit honor ♣ while South hold both right(♢X) and left(♠X) threaten. The key to the success of type C1 double squeeze was that the honor of left threaten should be cashed before cashing frees suit honors. To satisfy this condition, you must win with the ♠Q and cash the ♢K and ♠A. And the cross to the table with ♠K. In this case, you have known whether ♠ was 3-3 or not. If you do that, the endplay would be like as following:
--- KXX --- X
X AX X ---
it would be the typical type C1. Cashing the last ♣, East must remain 1♠ and 2♡, discarding ♠, West would be squeezed in red suits. This plan combined the chance of ♠3-3, simple squeeze(if West was 0-5-5-3) and a double squeeze.
If you remained the entry in ♠, that was the RFL double squeeze, a peculiar condition of type C1. Compared with the typical type C1, the difference was the location of the entry, left threaten suit replace the common suit. That was to say, the endplay was as follows:
X KX --- X
AX X X ---
Obviously, this play gave up the chance of ♠3-3.
What's more, if North hold ♡KTX, that would be interesting. Even if East hold 3♢, squeeze still exist as long as East hold ♡Q or ♡J. He must remain 1♠, 1♢ and ♡Q, so that West's ♡J would be caught. I couldn't remember the name of this type.
The full deal
In this deal, you would know the distribution clearly on the forth trick. Even if East try to cut your entry on the forth trick by returning ♡, you still don't need to suppose ♠3-3 or playing a double squeeze while East hold 4♠, shifting ♡ rather than ♠J may cause a guess for the declarer.
Anyway, I played casually this morning because I never thought such an interesting deal would appear. Winning with ♠K directly, just hoping a simple squeeze at last. I regretted at once when I followed a small ♠ casually.
