Lucky With Your Gamble



The last three days saw the Willingdon Sports Club hold the 4th Annual National Level Bridge Tournament. It was a very successful event under the Tournament Committee Chairman Deepak Poddar and members Manek Hiranandani and Vinod Nevatia. 

And now, ‘Apro’ Dara strikes again! With this tricky deal! 

South risked 7♥ and all passed out. West led the ♣K and when dummy hit, south seemed to have won his gamble. But south discarded his spade loser on the ♦A and drew trumps. When he next took the ♦A, East discarded and finally West got a diamond trick. Down one! 

To guard against the diamond break, South should have pitched the ♦10 on the ♣A and drawn the trumps. He could have taken the ♦AKQ, led a trump to dummy, ruffed a diamond and got back with a trump to discard a spade on the fifth diamond and won the lucky gamble. 

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well!
