Firstly David is correct in his scoring ( my mistake ) altho Andy gets an extra 5.
OK Remember you are always playing 5 card Majs Strong NT and STANDARD carding!!!
Hand1
Solution:
This one's a gimme. You cant make the hand is JS is a singleton as you will have a natural S loser to go along with the H and 2Club losers. The only hope for your contract is that REast has QJ doubleton spade, so you would rise with the Ace. Play to make!!!!
Hand 2
Solution:
East and West have baddly misjudged the situation. They have a great non-vulnerable save in 7H. In addition, East has tipped off the location of the QS.
Your play is to ruff the heart continuation at trick 2 and use both of dummy's heart ruffs to take Spade finesses as East is sure to have all 4 Spades
When playing against a whopping 2 -suiter, you may have to make adjustments in the play of various suits
Defesive Problem
Solution:
Apparantly partner has AD, so cash AH and retuen a D. Partner wins the AD and plays a third D. If declarer has the J, you ruff for the setting trick. If partner has JD he will make that trick and then play a 4th D promoting your 9H to put contract 2 down!
When you are lucky enough to hold the Ace of trumps, and Dummy's singlton trump is going to prevent you from getting a ruff, cash the Ace then go for your ruff!
