Above deal was presented to me by Virenbhai Shah, a legend rubber bridge
player at the Wilmington club. It was played by his friend, Bindiya.
Bindiya boldly bid 3♥ with three card support of her partners 1♥(four card bid) ♣Q led by West is surely
absurd after West’s partner supports the spade suit, in spite of having four
trumps! Any way South won the lead with the ♣A. cashed the ♠A and ♠K and ruffed the spade. South
now played the ♥K, ducked by West
but took the ♥Q and played back ♣9 which was taken with the ♣K by East. I wonder why he didn’t give his partner
the ruff! Now East plays ♦4, South plays
low and West the ♦K which was
ducked by North, West continued the diamond which was capture by ♦A and North returned a diamond which was taken by
East’s ♦Q.
At the end Bindiya was left with ♦5 and ♣J and ♣5. When South played the ♣J West was end played. If he ruffed with the ♥8 South will over ruff with ♥9 and remove the last trump with the ♥J and dummy is good. If West discards the spade
South will discard the diamond from dummy and play the master diamond from the
hand, the situation would be the same. Eventually East is caught in squeeze end
play!
Invincibility lies in the defense; the possibility of victory in the attack.
