Good Dummy Play



It deeply saddened my heart and shocked me to the core to learn of the sad demise of Farookh Cobla, one of our ardent bridge players and ‘the gentleman and an officer.’ I fondly remember, he would religiously read my bridge column in Sunday Mid-Day, and always SMS me his feedback on my writing in a very witty way! He was a very keen and regular bridge player, who never lost his temper or his gentlemanly cordial manners on the table. We will miss his lolly-polly personality, boyish looks, sweet smile and not to miss his well-combed puff in his hair!

May the Almighty rest his noble soul in peace.

West led the Q; taken by South’s A. South made good dummy play. Before drawing trumps he played on diamonds. By ruffing a diamond in his hand and then playing the A and another heart. This way South avoided the second diamond loser. Of course, he had to be lucky enough in hearts not to lose more than two trump tricks, but that is a separate issue.
