lets play bridge by bill coats here is hand that gave a few declarers a bit of trouble last week at the acton bridge club only one northsouth pair got a plus score when they set four clubs doubled two tricks the dealer is south and eastwest arevulnerable north s- 5 4 mfc b764z oq1074 east s10 3 hvow dj 10 8 cakj9i512 west sl r i1oj9865 j dk 9 south sjmcq9 7 hald7 0aq5 2 cvom the bidding south 2s west pass north 2 nt east 3 cs3 h wpass n3 s epass s4 s wau pass opening lead 6 of clubs although south opened 2 spade when this hand was played i do not approve of this bid south is looking at six potential losers and that is a few too many for a demand bid the action by east varied at each table some bid three clubs some four and one even went five clubs i guess eight card suits do something to some bridge players having arrived at four spades eden mills no declarer found a way to make the contract this is most surprising since declarer has only two hearts and two diamonds to worry about the best play on this hand would be to ruff the opening club lead ntl take two rounds of trump when the opponents trump split threetwo declarer should leave the third orte outstanding a hert to the king exposes easts void but east h out of trump declarer plays a heart 10 his ace and runs a heart now the diamond is led and declarer should play either low or the ace with the wild distribution showing up declarer must find the diamond king e4ther singleton or doublet oh it is safer to play the ace remove wests last trump and exit with a diamond if the finesse is attempted west will win the lead two rounds of hearts when declarer trumps he cannot draw wests last trump if he does he is out of trump and will lose his contract when east gets in with a diamond the moral if any is dont open these hands with a demand bid unlets you can make a game opposite a few points that dummy may provide last weeks winners at the acton bridge club were first kay harmer and cam sinclair second duke
