I wish my readers a very
happy, healthy and a lot of
winning bridge in the coming
New Year!!
One hates to see a 29
points hand go down the
tubes — especially when
there is a nine-card fit.
South draws trump in two
rounds and have to decide
how to proceed. It must be
right to tackle diamond while
you still have a club ruff
entry to dummy. So, South
plays diamond Ace and a
low diamond to the Jack.
The good news was that the
diamond Jack wins the trick.
The bad news was that East
pitches a club on the
second diamond.
South was still alive if East
has a marriage in spades.
South plays Club AKQ,
discarding a spade from
dummy and then Spade Ace
and a Spade. If East has to
take the trick, he will have
to surrender a ruff and sluff,
allowing South to pitch his
Diamond Q while ruffing
in dummy.
‘Don’t ever save anything
for a special occasion.
Being alive is the special
occasion.
