Acton Free pitta October Lets Play Bridge One thane that has constantly been stressed In this column Is the need for declarer to mike a plan The mark of a good bridge player la one who can select the best plan or make changes as the hand develops Hero Is a hand where I played as declarer a small slam I had a plan but unfortunately I thought It was the only plan and I didnt leave room for a change East dealt with neither side vulnerable NORTH S 10 J I WEST ST1 J If J Sit IMS 10 diamond one heart and three spades If ho could make all opening le dummy and the singleton spade was led On the noil two spade leads declarer discarded two of dummy East of course played the Jack on the third spade and It Is at this point that declarer should re consider his plan Draw trumps Declarer could take the heart ace and ruff a heart In dummy Now trumps could be drawn and declarers good spades would account for twelve tricks However declarer decided to keep to his original plan That would be to take the heart ace and ruff a heart Now a diamond ruff would be followed by another heart ruff This cross ruff would continue with declarers high trump Two plant The first plan works so long as clubs are not split fiveone second works If diamonds are not split fiveone In retrospect I think the poor diamond split Is more likely than a poor dub split However I tried the original plan and naturally West overruffed the diamond His spade return left me no choice but to duck In dummy and I was down one I wish now that I had given more thought to a change of plans when that Jack of spades fell from Easts
