1)
| a) |
Show the similarity to
the position: |

(double forcing finesse)

first low card towards
the Jack; you make two tricks with Ace-Queen well placed. |
| c) |
Look out! Show
them that it is not a double finesse, but a repeated finesse on
the Queen. The position of the Ace is of no importance.
|
| d)
|
Very difficult!
You make one trick by playing low towards the 10, then low towards
the Queen hoping that a high honour and the Jack re placed before.
In fact, it is not really a double finesse because there are three
honours missing. |
2)
This exercise is one of the most difficult that your pupils have had to
solve, because it calls upon their "creative" imagination. Take care to
check the reply of each person. You will find very few correct answers;
explain why the proposed solution is not a double finesse (advice
22.1). If nobody has found a satisfactory double finesse, suggest
to them:
|
A 4 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
J 10 5 2
|
(two tricks) |
Show that in playing the
Ace, then low twice towards Jack-10, they make a trick each time that
East possesses the King or the Queen (advice
22.2).
