Euro Heartbreak by Foxymoron

I understand how England felt in the Euros. However, "Second place is no disgrace" is a backgammon saying that they should consider. That means, in backgammon, that saving the gammon but losing the game is often the right approach.

Wales would have settled for second place in the European Bridge Championship, but came 30th. That sounds ok, except that only 30 teams entered. Still your scribe did win a few matches. This was one instructive hand.


The bidding was illuminating, South was the dealer at game all. (2H)-Double-(4H)-4S-(All Pass). South led the king of hearts and North overtook to play a second heart. You ruff in dummy? What now?

I will let you "go figure" and give the solution next week. A few strong players I gave the hand to went off.
