Hi all
Here’s a game from one of Dombo’s teams matches last week. It’s a nice deal to analyze. If I could only bring up the concentration to do this during a match instead of post mortem.
South had to play 4
 doubled. During the auction West interfered with some number of 
 and East finally doubled 4
. West starts with the 
 King. Plan the play!
Let’s do this together. Trumps are very likely to be 1-4 both honours offside, a 
 loser, 
 are soft and the 
 have to be tackled as well. Ducking the lead doesn’t do much harm, the 
 continuation is for your Ace. Draw one round of trumps by running the 
 Ten. East plays back a 
 for the King in dummy. Tackle the 
 now, the Queen and Jack hold but West discards the 2nd round. So trumps and 
 are 1-4.
This gets complicated.
Cash the 
 Ace and ruff a small 
 with the 
 Ace. East discards something. Cross to the 
 Ace and ruff a 
 with the Jack. East will overruff, but now South has only trumps left, resulting in three trump tricks in your hand, one in dummy, three 
 tricks, two in 
 and the Ace of 
. 
Full deal:
Without the double South will probably play va banque, double finesse in 
, and nemesis will overcome him. I wouldn’t double them, maybe it will gain +100 (or an unlikely +300), but warning the opponents into a thoughtful magic plan is a very bad thing.
