Over this weekend Otters Club
held their annual State level
Bridge tournament. The main
organiser of the tournament is
the ever smiling, courteous
and always obliging Mr
Chandru Bijalani. The pioneer
of duplicate bridge in otters
Club was Dr Tara Teckchandani. We very fondly
remember her at every
tournament.
The above deal is courtesy
‘apro’ dara.
West led ♠4, dummy rose with
the ♠k and this lost to east’s
♠a, ♠7 came back, which west
won and switched to ♦4. Declarer won this with
♦A. The contract would fail
unless South could discard
one on dummy’s long club
suit. To achieve this, even if
the club split 4-3, dummy
must be reached no fewer
than four times. The finesse
offered the better chance.
South played ♣5 to ♣A and
ruffed a club in hand. He led a
low trump and, when west
played low, he put dummy’s
♥8, which won. South ruffed
another club in hand. He
played a second heart,
capturing west’s ♥10 with
dummy’s ♥J, and ruffed a
third club, pulling west’s ♣k.
Finally South played a third
trump to dummy’s ♥9 and
cashed his winning club,
pitching one of the diamond
losers. Game was scored!
You can give others another
chance, or you can forgive, let
go, and give yourself a better
chance!
