 Lets see some of the boards of the match.BA 2015 RR M7 rtab 3

 Board 3

 After Branco’s 1club opening bid, and his 2NT rebid after Brenner’s 1heart suit response, the Brazil players arrived to the 3NT contract.

 Lead: spade3

 Muzzio led his fourth spade, and dummy’sspadeQ won the first trick. Branco continued with a small club, Camberos also played a small one and declarer played the club9 to North’s club10. Double dummy you can see that a diamond return defeats the contract, but Muzzio continued with spadeA and another spade.

This helped Branco…he won that trick…played four heart rounds, and a club to the clubA and another club. Muzzio won with his clubK, played his spade and had to concede the last two tricks for + 600. At the other table, the same contract, with the same lead, and dummys spadeQ won the first trick. Lucena for Argentina, played a heart to his hand and continued with a small club to dummy’s valet. South won the trick with the clubQ and played the spadeJ, after winning the trick he played another spade, the spadeK, spadeA and another spade to South’s spade10. Now Vilas Boas played a diamond and Lucena finished three down, 14 IMPs for Brazil.BA 2015 RR M7 rtab 8

At the other table Muzzio also chose to open 2spade, but here his partner asked with 2NT, Muzzio answered 3diamond suit, positive, and they played the game. The favorable clubQ position, helped declarer to make 10 tricks and to add 10 so needed IMPs for his team.
