West led ♣Q and South won with
the ♣A and
ran the ♠8. Sitting East was alert and sharp! As soon as West
showed up with the ♣QJ, East knew that declarer had all the missing points.
(Note that he could see all four Jacks.) So, East realised declarer would make
his contract unless given a nudge in the wrong direction. So, East won the second trick with the ♠A. Then he cashed the
♦A and
continued with the ♦5 and waited motionless, the way the spider waits for
the fly!
South, thinking
that the only way he could fail would be to duck this trick to West’s ♦Q and
watch East receive a diamond ruff: Naturally, South won the ♦5
with the ♦K and took a second spade finesse. Imagine his surprise
when East produced two deadly queens: first the ♠Q, then the ♦Q to put the
contract down.
May all the sweet
magic of Christmas conspire, To gladden your hearts and fill every desire!
