A DISASTER



IN the above deal, a disaster that two experts experienced, and you have to decide whose fault it is, or at least the percentage of blame. Let’s see what you think.


West led ♥2. East took ♥A, and on ♥K West playing ♥9, South ♥3 and ♥10. At trick three, West continued a heart and the declarer eventually pitching his blank  ♣K on a spade. Who do you think blew the defense, or was it inevitable?

West blew it. West knows that South has ♥Q from partner’s play of ♥K.  Therefore, West should play ♥J at trick two, denying ♥Q since West would have led ♥Q when holding ♥QJX. East now has an easy club shift.

They say, ‘Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing:

no one to blame’.
