Asy na Bridge autorstwa Bobby'ego Wolffa

Ołów otwierający: ♥Q

Today's deal comes from the women's event in Scandinavian bridge championships. Against three no-trump Cecilia Rimstedt led her heart queen, ignoring her partner's suit and focusing on her own — a very good decision today. When her partner had the king and unblocked it under declarer's ace, the suit was already set up for the defenders. Trine Dahl tried to steal the club trick she needed at trick two by running the club 10. But Rimstedt won the jack and quickly took her tricks for down one.

That was 10 IMPs to Sweden when the Swedish pair at the other table scored 10 tricks after a spade lead.

Of course declarer should duck the first heart, but let’s come back to the deal and compare the line followed by Pekka Viitasalo of Finland. Against him the heart queen was led, and he ducked the trick. East unblocked the king to win the trick and continue the attack on hearts. Pekka won the second heart with the ace, played a diamond to the ace, and led a low club toward dummy, intending to finesse if West followed low. When West inserted the jack, he called for the ace from dummy, then cashed his diamonds and the spade ace. Now he exited with a small heart to West, who could cash his two heart winners but then had to lead into declarer’s club tenace and concede the ninth trick.
