European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 08, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse Roren Bridge bsh by Charles Goren and Omar Sharif a psf act t7thtcm��trlbimt both vulnerable. South deals. North nine world famous Bridge players have been invited to compete for a $1000 unit 5q102 01654 4akqjwest East a 10841 4qjsq4 the bidding has proceeded West North East sir Lac 1 4 Para pass ? what action do you take . In the immediate seat we would not recommend a takeout double on a two suited hand. We would simply try Uhm both our suits. In the reopening cat however a simple voc Recalt by you would just show a desire to compete perhaps on shaded values. We must convince part Ner that we Are bidding on cards not out of a reluctance to let the opponents buy the hand cheaply. Both vulnerable. South deals. North 4aq5 10982 4 a74south 4964 pass 3 Pas. 4 pass pans pass opening Lead ten of #. Don t give up the ship when it looks As if you re floundering. Miracles have Hen known to happen see if you can produce one to bail you out of this hand. The auction was easy. North had just enough to jump raise his partner s suit and South certainly was not interested in anything other than game. West led the top of his club sequence and Declarer was troubled by the Mirror distributions. Since both Dummy and Declarer had exactly the same hand patterns it seemed that Declarer would have to lose two Trumps a club and a Spade even if the Spade King should be onside. Change a Low Spade to a Low Diamond in either hand and the contract would depend Only on the Spade finesse. East won the Ace of clubs and continued the suit to Declarer s King. After some study Declarer worked out t combination which would enable him to make the con tract should the Spade finesse win. If a defender held just two Spades and either a Singleton Trump Honor or both missing High Trumps. He coulis be end played. All that was needed was careful timing in Case that defender also held a double ton club. Declarer cashed the Ace and King of diamonds and then finessed the Queen of Spades. Matters improved when the lady won the trick. Now Declarer completed the groundwork by cashing the Are of Spades and was de lighted to Sec the King fall. A club to the Queen completed the stripping Maneu vers then Declarer exited with a Trump and held is breath. West cashed the King and Ace of hearts to Complete the defensive Book. Unfortunately for the de fenders he remained with nothing but minor suit cards in his hand. No matter which suit he returned Declarer would be Able to stuff his Spade loser from one hand while ruffing in the other and bring Home a Well played game. Of us my a.
