The Proper Line



Just three days more and our nation will be celebrating her 71st Independence Day. 

West led the ♣Q. Even though the ♣K was a goner, 5♠ looked cold. All South has to do is draw trumps and ruff a diamond in dummy. East took the ♣K with the ♣A and continued with a small club. 

South ruffed the club and led trump, East showed out. This means South couldn’t draw trumps and later ruff a diamond. As one can see from the layout South has a diamond loser on many lines of play. 

The proper line is to ruff the second club and lead the ♥Q. One of the opponents would win the heart and whatever they do, South has four entries to dummy to set up a heart trick and return to dummy to use it. 

A bridge player was matched up with another player when he showed up without a partner. All through the match, whenever he made a mistake, his partner would say, “No man is perfect.” Later the bridge player found out his name was Norman!
