A partial swing for Formidables. East-West were a bit too agressive in the Open room. Vivek chose not to open 2♥ in the Close room so EW were not tested at three level. While defending 3Nt, North has to find a small Club shift when in with the ♠King. Prabhakaran did! Note that 3♠ also gets defeated after a Diamond lead if North finds the Club shift. The only difference is that North must not duck a Spade if EW are in 3♠. With QJT of Spades in the closed hand, I ducked once so East ended up with an overtrick. Deal 7: 6 IMPs to FORMIDABLES Total : INDIA BLUES: 19 FORMIDABLES: 6
