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!
