One of the most amusing bits
of deceptive defensive play I have seen occurred a few year's back in
the BBL trials when Dick Shek and Gus Calderwood were playing against
Chris Duckworth and David Price, the latter playing in 3NT from the South
hand. This was how the spade suit was divided round the table.
At trick one, Shek led 2 .
Price tried the eight losing to nine. Regaining the lead two tricks later,
Shek continued with 4.
Declarer thought he had it right now and tried K
losing to A!
Again Shek won a trick to regain the lead and he led the six of spades!!
Price could not believe that he would underlead Q
- the settling trick - so he called for the seven. Defenders made
all four spade tricks to put the contract down two! Price was not amused.
