V . /£•' mm WM ,*> AUCTION w CONTRACT )?TV)mnc Ferguson el1 *. .^CVICAL AUCTION BRIDOS* BOYAND GIRL TO MAKE LOVE TEST ^Sf*W»v There are still a number of Auction and Contract players who, as dealer, do not understand what to do with certain types of hand. Most players know when to bid no trump or one of a suit, but every now, and then fchey hold hands that puzzle them. For example, you dealt and held the followearts -- A.K.J bs --9, 7,4,3 V-- - -A.K.Q --8,5,4 What would you bid? The only proper bid with this hand at either Auction or Contract is one no trump, and yet the holder of this hand passed. It is too strong; to justify a pass for, if you do, there is a very good chance of the hand being passed out. A suit bid would mislead partner as to strength • A. K, 4 , Should you bid one no or one This is a very clow hand. Personally the writer prefers a spade bid at either itract, but • criticize a no trump. These two hands are indicative of the difficulty that still confronts Auction or Contract players who have not yet mistered the proper "bids of the dealer. The dealer is in a peculiar position, for hecanplways give exact information. For that reason he should strive to bid correctly. To peas tinder certain circumstances is just ats bad as to bid incorrectly. Don t pans i mispart- N°- " mv-0 Spades -- A, K,:10,# ^ sound bid? for to do so (a j leading as an unsound bid. Yi ner depends on you aa dealer to give exact information both by your Bids land your p««.; SB Strive to do »«t **H ** ' ' ' - "1 & ..r:' No score, rubber game. The hand is applicable either to Auction or to Contract. Z dealt and passed, A bid one spade, Y one no trump, B passed and Z bid two hearts. A and Y passed and B bid two spades, Z bid three clubs, A and Y passed and B bid three spades. Z bid four clubs, A doubled, Y redoubled and B bid four spades. Z and A pissed, Y doubled, B redoubled and all passed. Y opened the ace of hearts and then led the trey. How should A play the combined hands? Solution: After winning the second trick with the king of hearts, A should lead the king of spades. He should then lead a low diamond and win the trick in B's hand with the king. He should then lead a low spade and win the trick with the ace in his own hand. In this particular hand, Z failed to follow ssit •, on the second round of spades. ^ , A was now in a position where he could count Z's hand very accurately. Y's lead of the ace and trey of hearts and the fact that B held the deuce indicated that Y originally held only two hearts. Therefore Z must have held six hearts. Z's bid and rebid of clubs indicated that he must have held at least five clubs so that his original holding must have been six hearts, five clubs, one spade and one diamond. Therefore, A at the sixth trick should lead a diamond and finesse the jack. Played in this way, A B should make their contract for Y Z can make only the ace of hearts and two spade tricks. Play out the hand for practice, Problem Hand No. 2 Hearts -- 6 none Spades --K, 9, 5, 2 : : A .... : i--!0,8,4,t Clubs -- none Diamonds -- non* '-10 Hearts -- K, 9 Clubs -- none Diamonds -- none Spades -- J, 6, 3 . i and Z is in the How can Y Z win three of the s tricks against any defense? Solution: Z should lead the jack of spades and A's best play is the queen. If A should play the ace, Y Z will win the balance of the tricks. If A allows the jack to hold the trick, A B can win only one trick. When A, therefore, plays the queen of spades, Y should win the trick with the king and lead the six of hearts. If B plays the ten, Z nine. l(B plays \ow, Z should the nine, forcing A in the lead. A can now lead a heart or a spade. If the former, Z wins the trick and leads a spade. If A leads the ace and small spade, Y will win the remaining tricks. In either case therefore, A B can win only one spade and one heart trick so that Y Z win three^of the five tricks Seek to Prove Wiles of Cupid Are Lasting.
