7 Interesting Deals of the Day Swiss League Round 7: Board 3 KQJ954 AKJ4 5 T8 Board 3, Dealer :South, Vul: EW AT32 T9765 KJ Q832 QT2 KJ5 A AQ7632 West North East South Pass 1S 2H 3D 4H DBL Pass 5C DBL All Pass This was one of the most freak hand generated by the machine yesterday. A 7-6 hand is a rarity with a very low probability. Though 4H double would have gone for numbers, but East could not take the risk with this freak hand and bid 5C, which was doubled by South. The lead was heart and declarer won with the Heart Ace, cashed the heart King discarding 2 diamonds. Now he played SK and ruffed it when North played the Ace. Diamond Ace, diamond ruff and 2 more diamonds discarded on top spades. A heart was ruffed in hand and last diamond ruffed with 10. Defenders got only 2 club tricks and the doubled contract was home. Pair Elimination 1, Session-1, Board 16 KJT632 T975 T64 Board 16, Dealer :West, Vul: EW A K74 KJ63 AQ973 Q74 AQJ8653 A T92 Q8 KJ852 West North East South 2S DBL Pass 5H Pass 6H All Pass The editor was watching this deal on the table of Jaggy Shivdasani N.K. Gupta. The opponent in West seat opened 2S (weak) and NK Gupta doubled for take out. Jaggy came out with a master piece bid of 5H (most probably meaning partner to pass with 2 spade losers and to bid 6H with one loser only. Unluckily the brilliancy was not continued by NK Gupta, who could have bid 5S over 5H to show the top control. They would have been the only pair to bid the grand in grand style.
