You need Courage



Independence Day was observed yesterday, commemorating the nation's independence from the British Empire on the August 15, 1947. This day is observed throughout India. Sitting East, you listen while your opponents ignore your good hand in their rush to 4ª. West leads the 8. You have the agreement that you lead low from three little cards so you know West has one or two diamonds. Let's say you play the 10 losing to declarers King. South plays three rounds of spades ending in dummy and call for the ©2. This hand came up during the North American Bridge Championships in New Orleans. East saw that West had maximum of 2 points and might have none at all. East decided to play low on the heart lead. It would cost a trick if South had four hearts to the Queen-Jack, but it wins if West is able to win the heart trick and return a diamond. Declarer played ©10, West won, and the diamond return did lead to down one. It took a lot of courage for East to play low smoothly. Nothing is more precious than independence and liberty!
