Deal of the Week

In this section I would cover one good deal which appeared in the Weekly Bridge Tournaments at Lucknow or in a recent tournament with explanations.

This week's deal is from 72nd Summer NABC which took place at Anaheim recently.

Dealer:North Vul:- Lead:K NORTH 10 7 5 4 3 A 6 4 7 3 A K 8 WEST Q 9 10 9 8 2 A Q 10 8 2 9 5 EAST J 6 K Q 7 5 K 4 J 7 4 3 2 SOUTH A K 8 2 J 3 J 9 6 5 Q 10 6

Bidding

North	East	South	West
1 NT	2	3	3
3	Pass	4	Pass
Pass	Pass

This deal is from life master pairs and shows intelligent bidding by West.

North opened weak no trump, East overcalled which showed s & s. South's 3 was Stayman. Now West had a choice bids and he chose 3 to show his suit. He could have supported instead.North now shows his suit and soon is playing in 4 .

East was on lead and chose to lead his King.East could not have found this lead without West's bid of 3 .

EW scored two and third was ruffed by East's Jack. Now NS had to lose another trick and the contract went down.

If King is not led by East, the contract always scores.
