  • 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.

    HINDALCO bridge tournament would take place at Renukoot from July 21-23, 2000.

    Fifth Friday Championship organised by Herman De Wael would take place on June 30, 2000 at various clubs across the world.

    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.

  • 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 local pairs event at Lucknow.

    This week a deal on total tricks.

    West opens prepared 1 D. North overcalls one H and south jumps to 4 H over East's 2 C. The auction ends when West doubles North's 5 H.

    The contract got made on C Ace lead which ,however, is shy on D lead.

    From total trick perspective- there are 21 trumps but only 19 tricks.

    Try reasoning this out.

    A week back I had put a similar deal. Perhaps both together would give a better picture.

    Till that moment perhaps we would have to put this deal under freak category where total tricks applicability is low.
