Gambit - Originally documented as a tongue-in-cheek ploy, a seemingly illogical play to entice the opponent into
making a false conclusion about partner's holdings, ultimately leading to
defeat.

Assume the
declarer does not have outside entries to run dummy's
Spade suit. Declarer leads the SA and West falsecards
playing the S10. When the declarer follows with the SJ,
West refuses the trick by playing the S2. The declarer
logically assumes both opponents have two Spades, winning the trick with
the SK in the dummy.
However when East surprisingly shows
out, West's SQ wins the third Spade trick and declarer is blocked
from running the dummy's long Spade suit. |
