Lead was a diamond to RHO's ace, and another diamond comes back. Partner wins ♦K, ruffs third round in dummy, and tries a losing finese in trumps, a heart comes back to the King and ace, draw trumps, and a club wich LHO's wins with ♣A catching partner's ♣Q. At this point if LHO returned a diamond she would be subjec to to a ♥-♣ squeeze, but she didn't hav e adiamn left anyeay, so +140.
This is the first tournament in Spain we play with Bridgemate, and we were surpised to socore 84% on the board, but we only looked at ths scores in bridgemate, not at the full deal while we write down the paper on the board the way we used to.
Only in the dinner I found that somehow, dummy had played with 12 cards. And that ♦2 had bannished!
After I see my cards the first tiem, I normally do not look at them untill the bidding is over, and when I put dummy, I remember feeling a bit surprised, but wasn't sure why LOL. I still have no clue how did the ♦2 dissapear from my hand, because I am sure I had it first time I looked at my cards.
