Over this weekend, Otters Club
is having their Annual State
level Bridge Tournament.
Mr Chandu Bijlani, the
gentleman and the officer, is
the pioneer of this event who
has encouraged and restarted
this mind sport.
West was playing the
intermediate jump overcall
showing minimum six card
suit.
West led ♥8, South has to lose
to the ♦A and the contract
hinges on the spade layout.
Given West will have about 11 +
points, The ♠A figures to be
with West. Declarer’s task is to
find some way to restrict the
spade loser to one.
The declarer made short work
of it. He won with the ♥K,
played ♣A, ruffed a club,
cashed the ♥A and played his
remaining heart. His plan was
to ruff this in dummy, ruff a
club and then lead a diamond.
With clubs and hearts
eliminated, West would be end
played if holding the ♦A.
South’s plan was successful. In
practice West ruffed the heart
but South simply discarded
dummy’s last club for the same
effect!
