Today is Holi, known to the
world as the festival of colours.
It’s one of the major festivals of
India and is celebrated with
enthusiasm and gaiety on the
full moon day. It marks the
arrival of spring, a season of
hope and joy.
‘Apro’ Dara has given this deal
as a real brain teaser. So get
your grey cells activated. And
spot the winning line!
West led ♥3, which South won
with the ♥Q. He then cashed
the ♣AK and led ♦2 for the
finesse. East won ♦K and
returned a heart to South’s ♥A.
Now, South couldn’t produce
an extra club trick as West
would win the ♣Q and cash the
rest of the heart tricks.
The winning line is after
cashing the ♣AK, he should
play a diamond to the ace.
Now, declarer can lead the ♣J
and, when it comes to a
discard from his hand, he
should throw ♥A! This frees
everything up. If West
continues with hearts, dummy
wins the third round and two
club winners can be cashed; if
West switches to spades, there
is time to lose a diamond to ♦K
and still return to dummy with
a winning diamond. This way,
nothing can stop South from
making two spades, two hearts, ♦A and four club tricks.
Let the colours of Holi spread
the message of peace and
happiness.
