Wow! — would you get this right at the table?
I’ve started working through The Bridge Technique Series… Since I’ve been working hard at creating all of these ebooks, I might as well take advantage and read them myself. They are at just the right level for me, and so far I’m getting a lot out of them. I printed off the whole book in just 15 pages, and I don’t feel the slightest bit guilty about scribbling all over each hand diagram as I try to work out the solution myself. So far, I’m loving the ebooks! Anyway, mini-plug over; here’s the meat and potatoes:
I won’t tell you the title of the book that I started off with, because it will give you a clue as to how to play this hand to maximize your potential for making this agressive grand slam. Would you make this contract at the table?
You are playing 7♥ at the 1999 Far Eastern Championship, and West leads the ♦9. What is your plan to make the grand slam?
