2NT Pass 3S* Pass

3NT All Pass

Prabhakar’s 3S was asking partner to bid 3NT. It can come with other variations as well, but this

time it was just to play there.

North led his 4th best spade and Tewari won it with ace and played a diamond to the jack which lost to

the queen. At this moment it required a club shift to

beat the hand but it was not to be as North backed

another spade and declarer romped home with 9 tricks .

Satya also led his 4th best spade, and declarer like in the open room won with the spade Ace in the

dummy and cashed the diamond ace and finessed the diamond losing to Satya’s queen. After a long

consideration Satya shifted to the club 5, and Kiran

after winning with the ace of clubs had a dilemna

to back partner’s original suit or the suit shifted. She misguessed and backed a spade for a push.

At this stage the match was very evenly poised with India leading by just 2 imps, with the score card

reading 12 imps to Bangladesh’s 10.

On board 9 Prabhakar – Tewari defended 4H for

down 1, while the game (4S) was bid and made in

the closed room for a 11 imp pick up for Bangladesh.

A series of pick up for India in the next few boards and India were on their way building a healthy lead.

A LOSS IN PROFIT.

down with the spade king and another diamond ruffed. Prabhakar now played a trump, South

playing his singleton jack, covered with the king to North’s Ace. North cashed the trump and exited

East after pitching club queen, was left with club king and H10. The roof fell when declarer played for

a squeeze on East and tried to fetch the king on

the heart ace, but it was not to be, but nevertheless india gained 8 imps when Prabhakar-Tewari were

allowed to play in 4H.

Final Score: 50-22 IMPs in favour of India, which got converted to 22-8 VPs.

Something really interesting on the table


The India-Pakistan RR1-Round-2 match saw

Marriane Karmarkar – Hema Deora sitting NS for

India facing Zeenat Azwer – Rubina Agha sitting as EW for Pakistan in the Open Room.

In the Closed room Fatima Raza - Rubina Saeed Hai of Pakistan sitting NS faced Tutu Narule –

Asha Surana sitting EW for India.

The two neighbours got off to a slow start with the hosts up by 3-0 IMPs at the end of 4 deals. This was courtesy 3 Over tricks - 1 on Bd-1 & 2

on Bd-4 scored by India in the Closed Room. In

between, on Bd-2 both sides suffered a one-trick set in 6S going 1 down when the ♥A was off and

Bd-3 was a quiet push in 4H making 11 by NS in both rooms.

Then came the only double-digit swing of the

match. The Indian North, on Bd-5, didn’t Double holding ♠KJ6, ♥98,♦T8, ♣KQJT75 after seeing

the auction proceed: P(by her)-P-1♦-1♠; 2♣ (by

her)-2♠-3♦-4♠. 4♠ which went off 3 tricks was a

poor compensation against 3N, which was duly bid & made by the Pakistan Women in the CR who now led India 10-3.

Bd-6 was a push with both sides making an

overtrick in 3♦ by NS.

On Bd-7, while the Indian NS in the OR suffered a 1-trick set in 3N, the Pakistan Women in the CR were in 4N, which also met the same fate. Push board.

Bd-8 saw India pulling back 2 IMPs when the 3H

contract went -1 in the OR but the same contract suffered a 2-trick set in the CR on the same D-4 lead.

Then came Board-9.

Both Norths opened 3S pre-empt (a bit heavy) which went Pass-Pass. Both Wests re-opened with a Dbl and after a Pass by North & 4H by

Eest, South bid 4S.

Now, the auctions divulged. While, in the Open

Room, West, Rubina Agha was content with a DOUBLE, which ended the proceedings there, Asha Surana, West for India in the CR bid 5H.

But then the original pre-emptor Fatima Raza bid 5♠, followed by Pass-Pass-Dbl by West.

Tutu Narula, East for India, not to be undone, added her own 6H to the proceedings. which closed the auction. Pakistan Women went +100 in the OR duly negotiating a diamond ruff.

In the CR, with nothing to guide her, Rubina

Saeed Hai could not find the killing club lead and led the ♠2, reasonably enough. Now, the

contract is a make. But, Tutu, went wrong and suffered a 1-trick set. If you bid like Rixi

Markus, you better play like her too. Instead of 17 IMPs to India, it was 5 IMPs to Pakistan, who now led 15-5.

On bd-10, Marianne, fourth to speak, on picking

up ♠T6, ♥AQJ9864,♦J7,♣A5 clearly the best

hand amongst the four, bid a practical 4♥ after

1♦ by Zeenat, 1♠ overcall by Hema and a 2♦

raise by Rubina.

Partner had ♠AJ543,♥T7,♦32,♣K984. Alas, there

was no fortune favouring the brave here as there

was no escaping the inevitable 4 losers for a 1-

trick set. In the CR, Pakistan, rested in 2♥

making 9 tricks, and now led 21-5.

On Bd-11, Marianne, playing 15-17 NT rather

inexplicably opened a strong 1♣ with a balanced

17 pointer and ended in 3N suffering a 3-trick

set & much agony during the play. In the CR, 1N

made an OT and a further 7 IMPs to Pakistan

who now led 28-5.

After a deluge of IMPs on the previous 3 deals,

Bd-12 was a quiet push with 2♦ by NS, suffering

a 1-trick set.

Then came along a partial recovery for India. On

Bd-13, Pakistan bought the contracts in both the

rooms, 4♦ in the OR & 4♥ in the CR. While the

former went 1-off, the latter went 2-off & 7

needed IMPs to India.

On Bd-14, India in the OR rested in 3♠ making

10 tricks on a favourable lay of the cards; the

Pakistan CR were in 3N going 1-off. 5 more imps

to India, who now trailed 18-28.

After a quiet push on the next deal, Pakistan

shut out any further Indian pull-back with India

going -100 in both the rooms. That was 5 more

imps to Pakistan and a well deserved 33-18

score, which translated to a 18-12 VP victory.
