Bulletin # 1 17th BFAME CHAMPIONSHIPS 2013, AHMEDABAD, INDIA Page 6 of 10 FRIENDSHIP PAIRS - Some Interesting Deals If he keeps 2 clubs, the play of club Ace, diamond to Ace and a club ruff makes the CQ as the 12th trick, whereas if North keeps 3 clubs and two diamonds, then a diamond to Ace, club Ace and a diamond ruff in hnad makes the DJ good for 12th trick. Nice interesting hand. Avoid Careless Play Board 5, Dlr: North, Vul: NS ♠AK74 ♥K84 ♦K ♣AJT76 ♠83 ♠JT9652 ♥A5 ♥97 ♦QT8652 ♦4 ♣532 ♣K984 ♠Q ♥QJT632 ♦AJ973 ♣Q West North 1C 2S 3H 5D(1) Pass Pass Pass East Pass Pass Pass Pass South 1H 3D 4NT 6H All Pass (1) – 0 or 3 Keycards 6H is a very reasonable contract but careless play can cause problems. If West leads diamond won by King in the dummy, declarer has to be careful in playing a low heart to the queen. If he by mistake plays the King of trumps, West will win with the Ace and another diamond defeats the contract.

Rajeshwar Tiwari – B. Prabhakar bid the slam and faced little problem in making the contract after getting the diamond lead. But the play is interesting on say singleton lead of spade 5. Declarer wins in hand, plays a low heart to Ace and another heart to Jack, queen & King. North continues with his last heart and now declarer plays all his spades discarding 2 diamonds from hand. In the last 5-card position, North can only keep either 2 clubs and 3 diamonds or 2 diamonds and three clubs.
