"El Firulete"

by Ana Roth y Fernando Lema

Jonsson

 

The "El Firulete" is one of the most known tangos, writen in 1958; its lyrics refers to the tango importance over the new music invasion to the Buenos Aires culture. The word "Firulete" comes from the word Feroleto (small flower) and refers to the decorations. The Firulete is a very delicate and complicated tango movement that only can run the great dancers.

Loosers: 2 hearts, 1 club & y 1 or 2 diamonds?. ¿How would you play the hand?

 

¿What about trying an intrafinesse? A coup described by the Grand World Master Gabriel Chagas.

 

Gordon won the lead with his A and returned his 2. Declarer played the Q, North won with his K and returned a trump. The declarer won the third trick with dummy´s J, played the Q and overtake it with his A, to play the 7, North played the 3, dummy the 2 and South won the trick with his J.

 

 Baldursson had a plan ON: win the trump or club return in dummy and play the Q, capturing both honors: K and 10...

 

South knowing what was going on...played a diamond, but Baldursson sticked to his plan, played little from hand, and smiled when he saw North`s 10 over the table, won the trick with dummy´s Q,  run the last trumo and claimed 10 tricks.
