The 1999 Levendaal Award for Best Play by a Junior
Winner: Martin Schaltz (DEN) Journalist: Ib Lundby (DEN)
Third generation Lizzi and Jørgen-Elith Schaltz were some of the hot bridge names I read about and learned from, when I was a junior player. Lizzi won the European Ladies Team title several times, and her husband played on our national team as well. For a couple of years my partner was Peter Schaltz, their son, and in 1970 I was his captain when he and his team won the European Junior title in Dublin.
West led his fourth best heart, won by dummy’s queen, and after a diamond to the queen the next diamond trick told Martin that he had to work for it. So he did! The K took trick 3, and a heart to the 8 endplayed West on the 9. He elected to play the 
J, which was taken by the K, and a spade went to the 8 and the bare ace. Now it was East’s turn to be thrown in! A low club went to the jack and queen, and before Martin cashed the Q this was the picture:
Look what happens to East when the Q is played. If he throws a diamond, declarer will cash the 
A and continue with a diamond, thereby making his third end-play. Therefore East had to throw a club, but it didn’t help him very much. Instead Martin played a club to his ace, discarded a diamond on the 
A and threw East in with the 
K.
Dummy’s A-to in diamonds took the two last tricks. 3NT made with an overtrick. Two end-plays and a throw-in squeeze in the same hand … I guess that we will meet Martin at the international scene very soon.
