End of Story



Tomorrow Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti will be celebrated on a majestic scale in Maharashtra. Shivaji was formally crowned as a Chhatrapati at Raigad fort and henceforth came to be known as Chhatrapati Shivaji. He was a brave warrior, known for his courage and intelligence. 

West led the ♣J, ducked to east’s ♣A and east shifted to the Q. south won the A, played three rounds of hearts, discarding a diamond from dummy and led a low spade. If West had gone up with the ♠A and gave east a club ruff, that would have been the last defensive trick east-West could have garnered. If West had played low, south would have inserted the ♠9. After east had won the ♠10, east would have played a diamond, which was as good as anything. Dummy would have ruffed and the south would have played ♠Q to West’s ♠A. End of story! 

By chance if West had only three hearts, after winning the ♠10, East could play back a heart which West would ruff with the ♠A and give east a club ruff, down one! 

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends!
