East’s 1NT shows a hand that
would open 1NT – about 15-17
high card points and a club
stopper. The double by South is
for penalty. North didn’t have
much for defense, so he pulled
out to 3 clubs and now South
bid 3NT.
Timing can be critical when
there are several fragile suit
combinations and several
tricks to lose before you can
establish the winners you
require to make your contract.
East is marked with almost all
the outstanding high cards.
South, a young pretty, witty
dame, won the ♠A at trick one.
Since East is marked with the
♠K, she played a club towards
the ♣Q. East could win the
♣K or duck and win a club later
but it is too late for him to set
up the heart tricks.
If the young chick had made
the reflex play at trick one by
following low from dummy,
East would have won and
switched to a heart and it
would have been too late for
pretty, witty South to set up
her ninth trick.
Don’t wait. The time will never
be just right!
