LETS PLAY BRIDGE Decision Delayed By BILL COATS can ranember a bridge tournament back In the early Utyi when the word went around after the first Did you see the Vienna Coup on board number This is the position that the Vienna Coup holds for many bridge players There are more difficult plays there are more Intricate plays but somehow the Vienna Coup has a special aura about It Very simply explained the Vienna Coup is a simple squeeze play in which declarer deliberately establishes a trick for an opponent and then squeezes him out of It Well the other night in a how It all came about East dealt with neither side ill NORTH 10 WEST EAST SQ J H J D 2 DK CA C5 SOUTH SA DQ 10 3 CK 10 3 The bidding fcAST SOUTH PASS 1C H PASS PASS Opening lead Queen of hearts Distributional hands are often difficult lo bid As a rule I try lo make it sound that 1 am being pushed into a contract I must admit that declarer had a little help from the On the opening lead went up with the heart ace AtthlspointEasthadqulle a problem He did not want lead a spade into dummy king ten did not want to lead a diamond into he ace- jack Why he dldn lead a trump I never know but he lead a heart which set the stage for the Vienna Coud THE Declarer discarded a diamond and ruffed in dummy A club was lead and West won with the ace At this point with West showing up with the heart queen and the club ace it is almost positive hat East holds he diamond king Declarers only chance o squeeze East In diamonds and spades Nor matly you cannot squeeze East by cards held by North This is because North must discard before bast Whatever North discards East discards in the same suit If South holds one of the threat cards the squeeze will succeed Let a see how it works MATTER West returned a trump which was won by declarer A diamond was lead to the ace and by this act declarer deliberately established East s king as a winner South hand was reentered with the spade ace Declarer now played out the trump suit In hi hand he kept the diamond queen and the spade five In dummy the last cards were the spade king and spade ten What two cards could East hang on to It matter If he held on to the diamond king then dummys spades would lake the last two tricks If he held on to the spade queen and jack then declarers last two tricks would be the diamond queen and the spade king Last week winners at the Acton Bridge Club were first Harry and Gloria Coats second Jim and Pat Jeffares third Kate Coats and Bcttv Ashley The reason that some bridge players use conventional bids is to enable them to reach con tracts that natural bidding cannot reach I have often mentioned the Stayman Con in this column This convention is used to find a major suit it after a no trump opening bid There is however another use of the convention and this use is either not well understood or just not used by most players Here is an example which led to a top board at the Acton Bridge Club last week North dealt with East West 8 K J J 10 WEST SK SQ2 D DA SOUTH 10 The bidding NORTH EAST SOUTH T PASS PASS 2D PASS PASS PASS Opening lead five of hearts The blading at most tables was on no trump by North all pass With the lack of entries in South s hand the usual result was down one or down two At one table South bid two clubs This is the convention and asks North to bid a four card major if he has one If he does not have four card major he must bid two diamonds On this particular hand South does not care what North bids South will pass any bid or two diamonds two hearts or two spades The only place that South does not want to play this hand Is at one no trump The play was most in North won the opening lead and immediately returned a low club East ducked and West won the club with the king West returned a heart won by North North returned the club Queen covered by Last and ruffed in dummy The diamond ten was led and ducked to East who won with the ace East returned a diamond which declarer won The nine of trump provided access to dummy and allowed declarer to discard a spade on the queen of hearts Making four diamonds was a fine result when everyone else was down at one no Solandt Asks for More Time and Information Omond chairman of the commission studying the location of a new Pickering to Nantlcoke power line has asked for more lime and information before making a final decision Mr Solandt told a Queens Park press conference before a final route selection can be made the studies presented to the commission by Ontario Hydro must be substantially extended in scope and depth He asked Provincial Secretary or Resources Development A B R Lawrence for additional lime to prepare a study He also asked in his tetter of introduction to an Interim report that the com mission be given the res pen of working on Ihe new report trump All declarer lost was one spade one club and one trump What a difference a convention can make By the way If you decide to use he convention this way make sure your void is in clubs and not in some other INVOLVfc PUBLIC Mr also asked that Bruce be appointed to direct the study and wrlle a report with his conclusions Mr appeared before the commission as an expert witness mi the environmental factors in the line location Mr proposed that Mr and members of the hydro staff working wilh him should begin to involve the public as early as possible Long before any recom mended routes are available fur discussion It should be possible to involve the public in deciding on the factors that need o be considered In choosing the line and the weight to be attached to hem he Mr page report to Mr Lawrence outlined he information obtained by the commission o date during its hearings The topics included the need for facilities choice of transmission system transmission major alternative routes technical information types of tower planning process and timing In his conclusion he said the middle route selected by On Hydro does not produce adequate evidence to support the view hat it is the best available route He said the extensive studies hydro made already be supplemented by a much more widespread and systematic study of the entire area In eluding but not limited to he four alternative routes described in the report DELAY 1 consider that Hydro has satisfactorily established the need for facilities choice of voltage reasons tor rejecting any major and their need to continue the carefully controlled use of herbicides All of these con therefore be accepted as a basis for the new study he said Mr said he mended further study with great reluctance since It will certainly deloy the construction of the line for some lime Ashgrove News Well Halloween has gone for another year and the rain kept away to let the children have their fun
