The Corporate Bridge Association of India held their seventh annual bridge event at Taj Lands End yesterday. Mr Deepak Parekh is the President of this association. The secretary, Mr Debasish Ray, as usual, made sure that the event was a great success.
In the above deal South competed with 2♠ and North came through with an excellent 4♠ bid. North bid on the assumption that he had shown nothing when in fact he had two valuable cards.
West led the ♥K and ♥A. South ruffed and started after trumps. West took the second round. Had he continued hearts, South would have had the rest barring the club loser, but West switched to a club. North took his ♣A and tried to come to his hand with a diamond. Bad luck! West ruffed it and East’s ♣K became the setting trick.
On the bidding, there is a distinct danger that West has no diamonds. East did bid them in response to the double. South can also more or less count on West’s having the ♠A. South should have discarded a club on the second heart. In this way, South could later ruff a club to his hand, keeping East off lead.
