Just two days ago, Ganesh
Chathurthi, the birthday of
Lord Ganesha was celebrated
all over in Maharashtra. On this
day, beautiful hand crafted
idols of the Lord were installed,
both in homes and in public.
West led the ♣Q, South won
with the ♣A and led a trump to
dummy’s ♠J. East took the ♠A
and returned a club to South’s ♠K. South now cashed with ♠K.
When West showed out, South
ducked a heart hoping hearts
would break 3-3, giving South
a discard for the ♦J. South
actually lost two trumps, a
diamond and a heart.
Once East showed the ♠A,
West had at most 11 high- card
points. To double, vulnerable,
with such minimum strength,
West surly had a singleton
spade. South should have led a
heart to dummy at the fourth
trick and return a trump to his ♠9.
Bridge players on the Titanic,
When the iceberg hit wouldn’t
panic,
“Of course we’ll go down’,
Said South, with a frown,
Every King is offside — it’s
Satanic!
