Hello, I’ve got a nice defense to complete your article .This is a board played in the Qualy Stage, France vs Hungary.
Board 10, All Vulnerable Dealer: East
Colin Deheeger – Baptiste Combescure
Baptiste Combescure led Q, his partner Colin Deheeger took with the king and played the ace, ruffed by declarer. Baptiste unblocked J.
Declarer went to dummy withA to finess Q, but Baptiste took with the ace instead of the queen ! He then exited with a spade.
The poor declarer cashed the K, saw the 10 and thought he was home when we playedagain, expecting them to be 3-3. He got a bad surprise, Baptiste still had 2 hearts and a club…
