Public Schools and Georgetown District Christian School speaking to students about safety LETS PLAY BRIDGE By BILL COATS Many times when you are forced to discard while declarer runs a long suit you should discard cording to the long suits that you can see in dummy Here is an example which came up at he Acton Bridge Club last week Only are involved but as I have mentioned before are worth their weight in gold at duplicate bridge West dealt with East West vulnerable NORTH SQ102 DJ CAK42 WEST S6 EAST SX93 SOUTH SAJ8764 H73 CQ10 SOUTH The bidding WEST NORTHEAST PASS 1H PASS PASS ALL PASS Opening lead six diamonds If you look at these cards you will see that a small slam has been missed Only one pair out of five reached the slam and they failed to make twelve tricks I was could go down Declarer appeals have six spade tricks one heart trick tw diamond tricks and three dub tricks That adds up to twelve without any trouble NORTH AT FAULT North is at fault for not reaching the Once South Jumps to three spades showing the equivalent of an opening North should reevaluate his hand The spade queen and the singleton diamond increase to value and Norths hand is worth eighteen points in support of spades A check on aces should be enough to assure a six bid Small slams should be bid on a finesse for the point bonus Is making the si MAD The real problem here Is to keep declarer from making all the tricks Most defenders will not open the heart ace against a game contract Thediamondleadwasthe most usual and dummy a Jack won the first trick Declarer proceeded to finesse against the trump king by leading the queen from dummy This was properly ducked by East Declarer continued with the spade ten again ducked by East At poing West mutt decide what to keep and what to discard Obviously declarer had the ace and king of diamonds He had a long spade suit hence not too many hearts and clubs West must hang on to the heart ace but equally important West must hang on to four clubs I admit that West dubs do not look like much but one look at dummy should convince West that his clubs are important Any lime you see a four card suit in dummy and you have four cards in that suit try to keep your length mat died with dummy length CLASSIC SQUEEZE West discarded a heart on the second spade Declarer continued with three more rounds of trump and West discarded two diamonds and another heart It a too bod that declarer did not lead his last trump and two high diamonds for then West Is caught in a classic simple squeeze Why not lay out the cards and check this for yourself At the table declarer led the club discarded on the dub king but West nine of clubs prevented a second discard Declarer had to concede a heart Hide for a poor resit All other NorthSouth pairs made tricks except the one pair mentioned earlier who bid slam but not make it Last weeks winners at Acton bridge dub 1st Mrs Kay Campbell and Jack Coats 2nd lie Cam Sinclair and Walter Mrs Betty Ashley
