Show 4 Sun Journal, Price, Utah Saturday, Oct. 16, 1976 home and hobbu j i The Brilliancy Prize introduced at the Olympiad in Monte Carlo this year is a borrowed from chess. Always in chess and most often at bridge it rewards an individual performance. That is why I treasure this entry in the Bols competition more than any other. It was a team effort proving once again that in defense bridge is indeed a partnership game. The East-Weachievement was noted by Henry Francis, executive editor of the ACBL Contract st Bridge Bulletin. Arrayed against declarer Kortay of Turkey were Denmark's Stig Werde-li- n and Steen Moeller sitting East and West. Kortay reached four hearts on the given auction. Norths two diamonds was a transfer which Kortay accepted with enthusiasm, jumping to three hearts to show good hearts and a maximum notrump. Norths three spade slam try was a trifle ambitious. The double of two diamonds showing strength there suggested that South held high cards in clubs, a dubious conMehmet tribution. I I ! and led his last trump, isolating a diamond loser in dummy. Kortay was not through, however. He countered by leading the jack of clubs. Now Moeller was on the grill Should he cover? Declarer had started with either both black queens or the ace of spades. If the queens, Moeller must cover (or watch Kortay discard a diamond). Then declarer could not regain the lead in time to cash a high club. Werdelin would win a spade lead with the ace and cash the setting diamond trick. Moeller did not cover, playing South for the ace of spades. Kortay ruffed and cashed dummys last trump submitting East to one more trial. Werdelin had to discard from the queen third of spades and two diamonds. Were he to let go a diamond he would be put on lead with a diamond to break the spade suit. Therefore, he discarded a spade, destroying the throw-i- n and insuring a one trick set. Of the 42 times this hand was played, 40 times the contract was hearts; Moeller and Werdelin were the only pair to take four tricks.
