Finally,
Mumbaikars bid Lord Ganesha a farewell. The 10 day celebrations of Ganesh Chaturthi
came to an end with much joy and some sadness. In the above deal South starts
with six top tricks: one spade, three hearts and two clubs. So. three diamond
tricks are sufficient, assuming the
opponents cannot collect five tricks first.
South won
the first trick with dummy's §K, played a diamond to his ¨ K and
continued with the ¨Q. However, East won with his ¨A and
returned his second club. When the ¨10 didn't
drop under South's jack, the contract was unmakable.
The best
line would have been to play a diamond to to¨9. West
would have won with the ¨10 and
shifted to the ªQ,
but South could win with dummy's ªA cross to hand with a heart and
continue with the ¨K. South would have lost at most
four tricks, two spades and two diamonds.
Yesterday
is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.
