Among the Best known of these is a hand reputedly declared by Giorgio Belladonna at the 1965 european championship which in fact was a problem composed by Paul Lukacs. The latest to make the rounds is the above hand credited to Jaime Ortiz pad no president emeritus of the world Bridge federation in the daily bulletin of the Central american championships. World class players who have earned the respect of their Peers through their own Brillian cies do not need artificial enhancement of their reputations by sycophants. To his credit Jaime was Quick to disclaim a dazzling defensive Effort attributed to him stating unequivocally that neither he nor his partner Pietro Bernasconi Ever saw the hand. No auction was Given but it might go As in the diagram. West leads a Diamond in response to East a opening bid and in an attempt to get rid of a Diamond from Dummy Declarer wins cashes Dummy a club winners and plays a Spade. East captures the King with the Ace and reverts to diamonds leading the Queen. When Declarer covers with the Ace it does not help West to Ruff with the Deuce. Declarer will win any return and dispose of a Diamond on the King of clubs using a Spade Ruff As an entry. When the Trump honors crash the defenders score Only a Spade a Ruff and one Trump. The secret of the hand is for West to Ruff with the Ace of Trumps that alone is not enough. West must now Lead a Trump to enable his partner to gain the Lead and Cash a Diamond before Declarer can take a discard. It sure smells like a composed problem to us q.
