Today is
the anniversary of the Quit India Movement, a civil disobedience movement
launched on August 9,1942 by Mahatma Gandhi at Gowalia Tank Maidan for freedom
from the British rule.
Above deal
was handled by South in a clever way. The lack of dummy entries dictated a more
prudent course in order to attack diamond suit. West led the ©8. South
won ©J and led a low diamond, west
playing the ♦10. If declarer would cover with dummy's Queen
the game was lost. East would refuse the trick and the diamond suit would yield
only one trick. South would exit from dummy with a heart, finessing his Queen,
and lead another low diamond. East winning as cheaply as possible. East would
knockout South's last heart stopper and South's maximum take would be now eight
tricks. Because dummy's ªA was the only sure outside entry,
the key lies in setting up a diamond as a second entry. To do so, South
cleverly ducked the first diamond lead completely. The heart return went to
South's Queen and South played a second diamond to dummy's queen to establish
the suit. South was now in position to win at least ten tricks.
