Last Monday night, as the JLall1 RR2 was nearing an end, the USBF Juniors held their regular Monday night IMP Pairs practice session on BBO. Board 17 was the only slam bid of the night. 10 out of 16 pairs bid 6NT. Six declarers failed to make it. Four succeeded. Three of the successful declarers received favorable leads or weak defense to take twelve tricks. Daniel Balof, 13, and Kai Eckert, 17, are aggressive slam bidders. North opened 1D and South promptly drove to slam. Daniel got no help from the defense, but on his own, he found a play to make his contract. Helen Chow, W, led the D6, and dummy’s queen won the trick. Daniel led the HT from dummy and ducked it to West’s queen. West returned a small club, which Daniel won with the queen. Daniel cashed three rounds of spades, discarding two diamonds and a heart from dummy. West discarded a heart on the third spade. Daniel unblocked the DA (Vienna Coup) and began running the clubs. Nathan Chow, East, discarded spades. South and West both discarded a heart on the fourth club. On the fifth round of clubs, East and South discarded spades, while West discarded a small heart. When the H6 was led from dummy, East followed with the H9. Since East’s other card was known to be a spade. Daniel rose with the ace and dropped West’s king, scoring the HQ for his twelfth trick. +990 was good for 10.47 IMPs in BBO IMP Pairs scoring. 3 There will be delayed kibitzing for all of the JLall1 event.
