West led the ♦Q. South won the trick with the ♦K, East following with the ♦2, and led ♣K. East won and returned the ♥Q, not exactly
what South had in mind. South’s ♥K lost to West’s
♥A and back came a third heart forcing dummy
to ruff. When South played dummy’s remaining ♣J, East followed, but West threw a heart. South had lost three tricks
and now could afford to lose only one more.
The sure-fire
play is to cash the ♦A, discarding a spade, ruff a diamond, and
exit with the ♠A, ♠K and another spade. It doesn’t matter who wins or who has the ♠Q, South’s last two cards are the ♣Q9 and South must take the last two tricks.
On their
wedding night, a couple arrives at their hotel room and the phone rings. The husband
answers and talks with his friend about a bridge hand. The conversation continues
for hours as the friend tells how he went down
in six spades.
When it
finally ends, the distraught wife is in tears and says, “How can he be so inconsiderate?
That was terrible!”
“You’re right, honey.
All he had to do was take a finesse.”
