Geet Sethi inaugurates the 17th BFAME Championships

Vinay Desai – Sapan Desai Wins the Friendship Pairs Event

The 17th BFAME Championships organised by the Gujarat Bridge Federation commenced yesterday

at Hotel Hyatt, Ahmedabad, India. The Championships will continue till Tuesday, 11th June, 2013.

The championships were inaugurated by the Chief Guest Mr. Geet Sethi, a multiple times World Billiard

Champion and World Snooker Master. Accompanying him on the dais were Secretary, BFAME Mr.

Azwer ul-Haque of Pakistan; Mr. N.R. Kirubakara Moorthy, the President of Bridge Federation of India

and Vice Presidents of BFAME; Mr. Lalith Ganlath, President, Bridge Federation of Sri Lanka; Mr. Sunit

Chokshi the organising Secretary of the event and Mr. Ton Kooijman, the Chief Tournament Director

from World Bridge Federation. The inaugural function started with the traditional lamp lighting

ceremony by all the dignitaries on the dais.

Mr. Ton Kooijman, then took the oath of sportsman spirit on behalf of the tournament directors and

technical team, whereas Mrs. Rita Choksi took it on behalf of all the participating players.

The tournament commenced with a Friendship Pairs (match points) event played in 2 sessions of 24

boards. 68 pairs, including many local pairs participated in the event. The Sri Lankan pair of Ashanta

DE MEL - H H J KEERTHISENA with a massive score of 70.3% were the leaders at the end of the 1st

session. Cricket fans should be really happy to know that Ashanta De Mel is the same man, who

spearheaded the Sri Lankan fast bowling attack in the 70-80s.

However, at the end of the event, it was the local duo of Vinay Desai & Sapan Desai who finally won

the 2-session Friendship Pairs event. They scored 67.9% in 1st session and 57.3 in the 2nd session to score

a well deserving win. The 2nd position with a score of 61.7% was taken by Keyzad Anklesaria, another

Ahmedabad player playing with J.M. Shah. Mrs. Kiran Nadar – B. Satyanarayana were 3rd with 61.2%

score.

For detailed score, See page 3.

Play in all the 3 events i.e. OPEN, WOMEN & SENIORS will start today. The matches are being shown

live on BBO.

6H is a very reasonable contract but careless play can cause problems. If West leads diamond won by

King in the dummy, declarer has to be careful in playing a low heart to the queen. If he by mistake

plays the King of trumps, West will win with the Ace and another diamond defeats the contract.

(1) – Game forcing check back;

Rajeshwar Tiwari – B. Prabhakar bid the slam and

faced little problem in making the contract after getting the diamond lead. But the play is interesting

on say singleton lead of spade 5. Declarer wins in

hand, plays a low heart to Ace and another heart to

Jack, queen & King. North continues with his last

heart and now declarer plays all his spades discarding 2 diamonds from hand. In the last 5-card

position, North can only keep either 2 clubs and 3 diamonds or 2 diamonds and three clubs.

If he keeps 2 clubs, the play of club Ace, diamond

to Ace and a club ruff makes the CQ as the 12th

trick, whereas if North keeps 3 clubs and two

diamonds, then a diamond to Ace, club Ace and a

diamond ruff in hnad makes the DJ good for 12th trick. Nice interesting hand.

FRIENDSHIP PAIRS - Some Interesting Deals
