West start ♣7
Try it

[MrAce]

I dont understand this, you are making us play 7♥ with a 3-3 fit and not even telling if we win the first trick in hand or dummy ? But regardless;

There are a lot of shapes that we can make 7♥, i didnt check in detail but the first ones comes to my mind East holding JTx(x) ♥ (but not neccessary)

If east has xx JTxx xxx Jxxx it is cold for example , we simply cash 4♣ discarding 2♦ + 1 ♠ from dummy then we can either cash spades first and then trump to hand intending to finesse JT and if inserted we cover and take ♦ finesse, rest is easy..we can change cards from east to west back and forth and 7♥ still makes with different plays . First requirement for making, West should not have 4 trumps including JT. Jxxx or Txxx won't hurt if other cards dealt the way we want.

Hell, we can make even if hearts are 5-2, for example what comes to my mind is in the first look East has xxx JT xxx Jxxxx

I said i don't understand it because i really don't understand what are you asking us to try ? Since the play will change for different layouts and we have no info from the bidding to make a reasonable prediction. Are you asking us to find a layout where grandslam makes ? There are tons of them i dunno how many of them i am expected to post. Or are you just fascinated that a grandslam makes on a 3-3 fit ? If so yes i agree that it is interesting but i doubt this is new to most of the posters that i know.

For me this hand is interesting. I find interesting to make a slam with 6 card of trump. For me is difficult also when i see all the cards.I asked only how to make the plan of play of this hand . But in this forum as soon as one writes something there is a solon that "has to put the dot on the i"

I somehow agree with you about how cherrypicking people are here, but you gotta understand that you must give all the info possible, and nobody is making a full plan wihout knowing where the first trick has to be won.


On this lie out, if RHO covers as it is normal, all lines start with a diamond to dummy, when the king appears, since it is likelly that LHO has Jxxx in trumps for a non trump lead, and even on the bad breaks making is posible.

I will attempt to win the first seven tricks in the side suits and crossruff the last six.

How'd I do?
