WS X Lets Play Bridge A fetter from Eden Mills n Thli la the fourth In a of letters written by Mita Val Barrow relating bar experience five years ft pentmE Aces were made to capture kings and kings were made to capture queens and queens were made to capture Jacks and so on down the list Anytime this t happen someone la likely to lose a trick If an ace cannot capture a king It should at least capture a queen or a Jack so as not to be wasted Here la a hand where a defender forgot this and as a result declarer brought home an contract East dealt with NorthSouth vulnerable J I Dqiat CA SOUTH i A SI I C K EAST i WEST Pan I Opening lead king of clubs Take out doable After West opened tho bidding the best way for North to describe his hand Is to use a take out double He has an opening bid himself and support for the three unbld suits South Jumped to three hearts In response He had almost an opening bid himself and a good heart suite as well Technically North could pass this bid but since hearts was his four card major and since he had full value for his double he carried on to game Lead ducked The opening lead was ducked by declarer so West persisted and led another club Declarer led a trump to his king and was pleased to see the queen fall from Wests hand He continued to draw trump by leading to the lack In dummy and then back to his ace A low spade was led and when West played low declarer finessed the ten East won with the king East had a problem A spade lead did not look good In dummy aceJack A club lead would allow declarer to ruff In dummy and discard In his hand The only suit left was diamonds so he led one A waste Declarer played low and West won with tho ace Unfortunately all West won with his ace was a two a three and a four What a waste Declarer later took the spado finesse and made his contract losing only one spado one diamond and one club At fault East was a bit at fault for not leading the diamond nine This should show no higher cards and hence declarer la marked with the kino But if East had the diamond king he really should load It for West must have the ace in order to have an opening bid Also It would be difficult to explain South Jump to three hearts without a face card out side of hearts In every case West should play declarer for the diamond king and on Easts diamond lead play the ton Later his ace will capture the king as it should and the jack will the setting trick Winners Last weeks winners at the Acton Bridge were first Betty Ashley and Cam Sinclair second Joyce and Gord Akltt third Kay and Jack Coats i Eden Mills
