This, rather interesting deal,
is sent by our dear friend Deepak Parekh, who has time
to go around the world to
watch his favourite sport,
cricket, but has no time for his
second favourite mind-sport,
bridge. However, he does
make it a point to read these
interesting deals, and,
sometimes, pass it on to me,
so my readers can enjoy
them too!
In the above deal, the popular
line was to win in hand, ruff a
spade, cash the ♥A, ruff a Heart, ruff a Spade and ruff
another Heart. But, West
overruffed and shifted to a
club: down one!
True, the bad heart break was
tad unlucky, but much better
was to play a club to the ♣K at
trick two. If West took the ♣A and led another trump,
declarer would have needed to
ruff only one spade. Here, East
would have taken the trick
with the ♣A and returned a
club. South could have ruffed,
trumped the ♠8, ruffed a club,
trumped the ♠10, cashed the
♥A, ruffed heart, drawn
trumps and claimed.
They say, “follow your heart”,
but, if your heart is in million
pieces, which piece do you
follow?
