You are still alive






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.
