Combination of chances


It’s the wedding season again! An Indian wedding is a grand occasion, lavish with a lot of noise and show. The music and dance all are a part of this extravaganza. It’s almost like a festival.    

South’s 3 call was a slam try with a long suit. North showed himself amenable to the  idea of a slam an advance cue bid of 4* West led K, not obliging with a minor-suit lead. At first glance, it looked as if south will have to guess the Q for the contract. He could discard one of his small clubs on the A but that will not be enough to avoid the club finesse. Is there another way? How will you play?          

The play offers the best combination of chances but the actual declarer made the slam by ruffing the opening heart lead and guessing that West held the A. He played the 4 a trick two and West had no reply as cards lay. In fact, he ducked and declarer discarded the K on the A. Had West taken the ace declarer would have ditched two clubs on the Q and A. You should always combine your chances.

Marriage is a workshop…
Where husband works      
And wife shops…
