Unguessable Position



What do you know? 'Apro' Dara is back in action! He never comes empty handed, always with a juicy bridge deal and with a ball pen marked with the hotel emblem! Of course, only for me, for writing his juicy columns I guess!! This time it was Marco Polo Hotels!

Today's North-South bid naturally and easily to a good slam, and South bought the first trick on the cheap. The opening lead gave him a free finesse. After winning with dummy's  ©10, South drew trumps, took the ©A, §A and discarded a diamond on the §K. When the §Q didn't fall, declarer threw another diamond on the ©K and led a diamond. Alas, the position was unguessable: West had the ¨A and Q, and South went down one!

To preserve a dummy entry, he must win with the §A South next cashes the ©A, ruffs a club, takes the A-Q of trumps, ruffs a club draws the last trump. South can then return to the ©K to discard three diamonds on the clubs.

Praise the bridge that carried you over.
