Last three days saw bridge
players from across India
struggling to get the rank and
the attractive prizes that came
along with it. This was the
yearly Ashok Kapur Memorial
Bridge Tournament held at Catholic Gymkhana. His
beloved and loving wife, Madhu, has been generously
sponsoring this event
every year. Under Rajeev Khandelwal’s great organising
skills, of course.
And finally in Mumbai there’s
a ‘nip in the air’! But, this
‘senorita’ did care to play her
hand well.
After swift and simple auction,
senorita sitting south had to
make the right guess when the
east led the ♦3. The problem
was really not diamonds. It
was spades!
She wanted to decrease the
chance of east winning the
lead and shifting to a spade
through her king. Obviously, if
east has the ♦A, South cannot
keep him off the lead, but if he
has the ♦Q, South can. For
that reason senorita went up
the ♦K. If ♦K had lost to the
Ace, the senorita would have
had to sweat out the spade
position.
I think this senorita deserved a margarita!
