Today the 13th Family Bridge
Tournament is being held at
Bombay Gymkhana. The
originator of this popular
tournament was Dr Minoo
Daver. Now his gentle and
noble wife Dina continues the
legacy. Hosie Hoosein, of
course, is ever ready to offer a
helping hand. We always feel
the absence of Dr Minoo Daver.
“This one is really a juicy deal!”
said ‘Apro’ Dara, taking out an
envelope from his pocket. I
profusely thanked him for this,
rather often, kind jester.
South is in 6♥ and West leads
the ♠J. South’s 2♣ bid was
forcing and it guaranteed at
least game invitational. North
indicated three card heart
support and South jumped to
6♥. Declarer seems to have 12
tricks, two spades, five hearts,
four diamonds and one club. It
looks obvious to win with
dummy’s ♠A and to draw two
rounds of trumps. If both
opponents follow suit, South
unblocks his ♦A, draw the last
trump with the ♥Q and claim.
Here, though, the trumps break
4-1. Now declarer needs a
dummy entry to reach the
three diamond winners. The
entry has to be in spades, and
that requires South to throw
his ♠Q under dummy’s ♠A at
trick one.
A happy partnership is a
matter of give and take. You
give in and your partner takes
credit.
