Bridge Facilities in India 
In this section I would be putting together all the information regarding bridge facilities in the various cities in
India.The information may be sketchy at present but would be made comprehensive in future.
Tournament News
In this section I would cover tournaments happening in India and more so the tournaments
happening in Northern part of India and in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
WBF is organising Mind Sports Organization's Worldwide Simultaneous Pairs on August 22 and August 23, 2000. It would be on the lines of Fifth Friday Championship organised by Herman De Wael.
The magnitude of the championship would be higher with about 10000 tables results being compiled together.  |

Bidding
| South | West | North | East |
| 1 | Pass | 1 | Pass |
| 2 | Pass | 2 | Pass |
| 6 NT | Pass | Pass | Pass |
This week a deal on simple card play.
South opens strong 17+ HCP . North responds positively by bidding one and then bids
two on south's two . South ends the auction by bidding 6 NT.
How would you play this deal ?
It is evident that finesse is mandadory. So you have 6 s, 3 s & 2
tricks for eleven tricks. Twelfth trick comes from King if Ace is correct.
lead indicates that it is from singleton or doubleton.
In reality first trick went to 8 , 9 & Q. Declarer then took finesse and played on . After cashing all
the s declarer also cashed J & Ace. East was now feeling the pressure and couldn't guard two s
and two s and had to bare Ace. Declarer threw him in by playing small and he had to concede two
tricks to the dummy.
A simple play made more elegant.
