‘Apro’ dara is back in ‘Apla
Bharat,’ enjoying the monsoon
and the wild bridge. As usual
with a juicy deal for all us, all
the way from Washington DC.
When north showed jump
preference, south felt that
north was denying any values
in hearts and spades, so south
bid the slam directly. When
West led the ♥K, south
summed up his position: He
could take either the spade
finesse or the diamond
finesse? He pondered, shifting
in his chair amid his
indecision.
The reality is that south
should not take any finesse in
the traditional way, but
combined his chances with a
ruffing finesse and loser on
loser play. South wins the lead
and draws two rounds of
trumps. He played ♦7 to ♦A
and led ♦Q from dummy. If
East cover with ♦K south ruffs
and later discards ♥7 on a
winning diamond. If East plays
low, declarer throws ♥7 from
hand anyway. Even if West
could win he couldn’t cash a
heart trick. Now south’s ♠QJ6
could all be discarded on the
remaining winning diamonds.
It’s best if you can do things
with a sense of humor and
finesse!
