All Pass |
|
|
¹ Explained from North to East:
T/O. Explained from South to West: 'I think we play optional doubles, but I
have a classic penalty pass'. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first tricks
went: §K to the Ace,
¨J to the Queen and
ª2 from North. West decided to
finesse, for if North had an optional double, he should hold a lot of values,
such as ¨AQ,
§KQ and the
ªK. |
|
|
|
|
The TD decided that
according to the explanation West received from South, the
ªK could very well be in South's hand
even if the double was meant as optional. Therefore the TD let the table result
stand. |
