More Prudent Course


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.
