The Premier League Final China 2018: Get professional! How a declarer became a defender

This deal happened in the last segment of The Premier League Final China 2018, PD Times VS Hengzhou. Board 8 Dealer: West Vul: None West     North     East     South Lorenzin J.Li        Bessis    Z.Fu Pass       Pass       Pass      1♣* Pass        1♢*       Pass      1NT Pass        2♡*         X          XX*  3♢          3♡*       Pass       4♠  AP 1♣: Precision 2♡, 3♡: Transfer Lead: ♡3 (3rd/5th) South won with the ♡A while you followed ♡J. Then the declarer crossed to the table with ♠J to lead a small ♡ from table. Now what's your plan? Who holds the ♡T and where is the ♢A become 2 serious questions. First, 3♢ indicates that West holds 4 ...

Online training: Please remember to detect the honors beforehand !!!

This deal happened in our weekly online training last Monday. I couldn't concentrate my attention due to the lack of card sense online. Rookie mistake should be mentioned here. Board 13 Vul: Both Dealer: North East    West 1NT      2♣  2♡       4♡ Lead: ♠7 South led ♠7 while North followed ♠J. And I won with the ♠Q. Now what's your plan? ♠7 seemed to be doubleton. Firstly, you couldn't avoid to lose 1♠, 1♢ and 1♣ at least. In other word, you must make a right guess in who had ♡Q. For me, due to the leading, I had supposed South hold long ♡ and he hadn't led trump, so I just played casually, cashing ♡K, then ♡J->♡2->♡5->♡Q... Oops... Doing some detection first to find more clues might be a better choose. Sending out ♢ first and whatever who won, he had no choice but to return ♢ or ♠. I could win in hand. Crossing to table with ♣K. And now the distribution was clear. If one A for each, now it was your guess time, n...

BM2000 Questions in reality 3

It seems to be an impossible deal, however there is a little hope by the leading. Board 1 Dealer: North Vul: None  North    South    1♣          1♠    2♠          2NT*        2NT: Asking    3♢*        3♡*           3♢: 5♣    3♠*        3NT          3♡: Asking    4♣          4♢            3♠: No singleton    4♡          4NT    5♡          6♠    AP Lead: ♡4 I  never thought my partner only hold 4♣. That's why I asked key cards and reached an impossible contract. The leading gave me a little bit hope because I might win with ♡J in the first round. As long as ♣ was 3-3 or West hold 4♣, the contract became...
