Three more days and Dussehra
will be celebrated all over India.
It’s observed on the 10th day of
Navaratri and is a celebration
of the victory of Lord Rama
over the demon Ravana. The
triumph of good over evil.
Today’s deal is a defensive problem. West leads the ♠2,
dummy plays low and South
takes the ♠Q. South almost
surely has the ♠J, from both his
bidding and his failure to put up
dummy’s ♠K on the first spade.
South must have a long,
strong clubs since he bid 3NT
with such few high cards. After
clubs are established, he may
have nine winners, East can
lead the ♠A and a third spade
to set up West’s fourth spade,
but East-West will come to only
four defensive tricks that way.
To beat 3NT, South must
shift to the ♥K at trick two. If
South takes the ♥A and starts
the clubs, East should duck
twice and win the third club.
South’s hand is dead, and he
will take at most eight tricks.
Above deal courtesy ‘Apro’
Dara. We are awaiting his arrival
from Washington DC.
‘The important thing is to
teach a child that good can
always triumph over evil’.
