THEY DID IT IN DIAMONDS

Team Indonesia, last year's winner, is back to defend with a strong(er) lineup. Board 27 from the first session of the OUCHI CUP was a pretty effort at both tables.

Bert Toar Polii played in 3NT as West at TABLE ONE. North got off to the lead

of the king of clubs, choosing the unbid suit. Both South and West encouraged,

so North led a second club to the nine and jack. "Berce" crossed to the SK and

called for a low diamond from dummy. South would have done well to play low,

but he went in with the king. Berce unblocked the 10, won the club  continuation, cashed his spade winners, and led the 7 to dummy's nine to pick up the rest of the suit. Ten interesting tricks. Plus 430.

At TABLE TWO, West played in 4S, and got a low heart lead from Denny Sacul.

Declarer won the ace, cashed the SK, ruffed a heart, and played ace-queen of

trumps. When South showed out, declarer was in trouble. He led the D10 and passed it when North followed low. South, the rejuvenated Ferdy Waluyan

(who is again playing serious competitive bridge after a long hiatus), allowed the ten to hold. Declarer led a second diamond, and Denny might have followed with the jack to create the impression that he held king-jack-deuce. When he played the three instead, declarer might have put on the ace, but he called for dummy's queen. Ferdy won the king and switched to the C10, preserving his partner's heart exit. Declarer lost three clubs and so went two down, minus 100. 11 IMPs to Team Indonesia,

MEREKA MELAKUKANNYA DI DIAMOND

Tim Indonesia, juara tahun lalu, kembali bertahan dengan susunan yang kuat. Papan 27 dari sesi pertama OUCHI CUP merupakan upaya yang cukup baik di kedua meja.

Bert Toar Polii bermain di 3NT sebagai West di TABLE ONE. North lead CK unbid suit. Declarer membiarkan menang dank arena selatan memberikan signal minta diteruskan maka trik kedua lanjut serang club. Declarer menang CJ kemudian kemudian Berce  ke dummy dengan SK.

 Dan meminta D5 dari dummy. Selatan bisa bermain diamond kecil, tapi ia memilih main DK dan Berce melakukan blokir dengan main D10.

menyerukan berlian rendah dari boneka. Selatan akan melakukannya dengan baik untuk bermain rendah,

Selanjutnya Berce menang CA ambil SAQ dan main D7 untuk potong dengan D9 dan meraih 10 trik secara menarik.. Plus  430.

Di TABEL DUA, Barat  bermain di 4S, dan mendapat lead H2 dari Denny Sacul.

Declarer memenangkan ace, mainkan SK, heart trump dan memainkan ace-queen trump dan ketika selatam tidak ikut declarer sudah dalam masalah.

Declarer kemudian main D10 dan saat utara main diamond kecil, di dummy juga ikut main kecil. Ferdy Waluyan yang kembali memainkan bridge kompetitif yang serius setelah lama absen, membiarkan D10 menang. Declarer kemudian lanjutkan diamond. Denny sebaiknya ikut dengan DJ untuk menciptakan kesan bahwa dia memegang king-jack-deuce. Ketika dia memainkan kecil declarer bisa saja main DA tapi ia memilih main DQ. Ferdy memenangkan DK dan serang C10 menjaga kartu exit partnernya di heart dan kontrak down 2 atau 100. 11 imp buat tim Indonesia.
