Playing in the Oak Ridge sectional, there was an ongoing theme of taking every chance possible to hoodwink the opponents (whether as declarer or defender). It seems that further on in the day players are more susceptible to slight, crucial blunders.
The best example involved this plain suit:
AQx
--
Declarer quickly led the Q out of hand before East had any information other than trick 1. Holding Kxxx, he decided to duck erroneously, allowing declarer to pitch a loser from dummy.
Another interesting example involved trying for an overtrick, but it was so late in the day, it's impossible to recall. Perhaps the key to great bridge is to save any fatigue for (yawn) after the hands are played.
