Ruff And Discard


Just two days ago was Makar Sankranti, the kite flying festival, celebrated in India with immense joy, but when will the true awareness dawn upon the people about the harm inflicted to those innocent, feathery friends? They get entangled into that sharp ‘manja’ and get crippled, falling down and trying desperately to hide under or behind some object before becoming a meal for the stray dogs and cats. ‘Joy for human beings but a deep sorrow for the free birds.’

West wins the first trick and continues with Q; East overtakes and switches to the 6. Can East have the K? If East had the K, he would let the partner win trick two, so that West could switch to hearts through dummy’s A. Since West has K, South has four losers: one heart, two diamonds and one club.

However, there is a chance: that West has at most two clubs. South should play his low heart and win the trick three with Dummy’s A. Draw trumps, cash the two top clubs, then exit in heart. With luck, West will have to return a red-suit card, allowing South to ruff in the dummy and discard his club loser from hand.

“What is joy?
It is a bird
That we all want to catch.
It is the same bird
That we all love to see flying”
