A simple board.
-Lead, so no losers in this suit. In the red suits 2 losers.
So only 2
-losers are allowed.
Try trick1:
10.
Then
to
K and again play a
.
If
10 loses then continue
to
A and
to
K.
At oyr table the leader let run
6.
So 3
-tricks were lost, -1.
A nice bidding-convention.

We play: East transfer, and a new suit is gameforcing.
With a transfer and 2SA you miss the 4-4 fit
.
There are 2 solutions for East:
You make a transfer and a new suit inviting.
Or
You make 2
, and then 3
inviting.
After
A Lead and
continuation the play wasn’t the problem,
3-3.
At the end a tricky contract

Take trick1 with
A, North plays
7
North also has
9, the best play is
.
Making 2
-, 2
-, 2
, 3
-tricks,
6 in East is higher then
4 in South.
Also you can duck a
, you have 3
-tricks.
Beginning with
K and
Q also works.
If South takes the 2nd and continues
naspeelt you play
.
If South takes the 2nd and plays
you duck.
Conclusion:
It was in fact an easy game.
Louis, the Dutch player.
