17th European Youth team Chmpionship is taking place at Turkey. This week's deal is from a practice match between Turkey and
Netherlands and shows a good piece of defending.
At both the tables contract was 3
by South and both Wests led singleton
.
The dutch dfender gave a
ruff indicating suit preference for
which was duly
shifted to get another
ruff. The contract thus went one down.
The Turkish defender had other ideas.
He shifted to a trump after getting the first
ruff. Declarer won the trick and played back another
which was won with Ace. Now
was shifted to and another ruff was taken. The trump shift ensured that declarer had no entry left
in dummy to enjoy his
s. In the end he had to lose couple of
trick as well and he went three down.
The routine defence of two immediate
ruffs leaves declarer with an entry in
to enjoy the
s.
Very well defended by Turkish defender.
