Re: Session 2 hand 5 -- Grand against 4
To answer your last question, the score is the same if the defence make Schneider. Your bid rounded up to the next multiple of your contract base value and doubled is the minimum you can lose. You only lose more than that if the game value doubled is more than that minimum.

Re: Session 4 hand 13 -- big hand as Vorhand
I wonder whether it is better for Vorhand to lead H8 or maybe S8 to the first trick rather than playing a trump? Maybe this improves the chance of making Schneider? Vorhand will still win the game however bad the distribution. At our table Martin simply announced Grand Hand without waiting for any b...

Re: September 16th, Session 4, Hand 25
It's a risky grand but it's not at all obvious to me that you should discard the s8. I would suggest discarding club A-10 and hoping that the hearts are 2-2, which in fact they are. Then you have 21 in the skat, 25 for the hearts, 11 for the diamond ace and you just need to make sure to take at leas...

Re: September 16th, Session 3, Hand 13
If you wanted to know how I made Schneider on the actual deal, so far as I remember I led a small heart to trick 2 - safe now that I have the only remaining jack - and both the 10 and the king appeared. The opponents then led the ace of spades collecting two small cards on it. I won the rest of the ...

Re: September 16th, Session 3, Hand 13
You mean hand 14. I put the S10 and DK in the skat - 14 points. Then my plan was: Lead both black jacks to draw the red ones - 8 points, total 22 so far Lead my three top clubs - another 28 points provided that they don't split 4-0, total 50 Lead my ace of hearts for 11 points, making 61. As it happ...
