Karpin on Bridge and a World Championship deal

One of the world’s top bridge players Pietra Farquet of the Blue Team misguessed a key move in a World Championship match. Sam Fry Jr. faced a penalty double from Forquet, triggering a dramatic sequence where Fry cashed spade ace and king then led clubs to test dummy’s long suit, aiming to create a trick via trumps.

Forquet’s Guessed Trump Queen Nets Doubled Contract Victory

In a bridge deal, Forquet weighed whether to cash ace and king of trumps or finesse against East’s queen. He chose not to finesse, led ace then king, East took queen for the setting trick, the replay of four diamonds by East doubled the contract, costing the Italians a large win while Forquet’s reasoning yielded a 30 plus 100 point gain for the American.
