Yesterday
was the Swiss National Day. My friend who lives on the 21st floor of her building
invited me for the celebrations, where Swiss cuisine was served. The cheese
fondue, a mash of leeks and potatoes,
thinly grated potatoes, Rosti, biscuits with hazelnuts, yummy Swiss roll
cookies with cream cake, caramel Swiss meringues were to simply to die for! One
couldn't miss the colourful flower bouquets that were placed all over to give
the venue a festive, Swiss country look!
Martin
Hoffman was South in above deal. Martin Hoffman was a bridge writer. East won
the ♣A and
returned a club, which was ruffed by South. Now what?
Hoffman
took his only real shot — he played four rounds of spades whether West ruffs
the fourth spade is immaterial (If West ruffs, dummy over ruffs). After the four
spades, Hoffman led a heart. East was stuck in with the bare Ace and had to either
cash the ♦A or give Martin a ruff and a sluff. Either way
Hoffman loses only one
diamond trick.
We
build too many walls and not enough bridges!
