do not always make winning rubber Bridge the lure of the Over trick at duplicate is but is inimical to the interests of rubber heres a prime despite easts opening North South reached their heart note norths raise of his partners Overall despite scant values it is usually sound practice to raise partner when you have Fourcard even with slight West led his fourth est East won the King and continued with the Declarer crossed to the Jack of diamonds and finessed the ten of West won and persevered with a Well known tournament ruffed crossed to the Ace of Spades and repeated the Trump West scored his remaining Trump Honor and led a Spade for Down there is considerable justification for wests play at but at rubber Bridge it is simply an act of since Declarer can discard Dummy three Spade losers on his High he can afford to lose another Trump therefore he should simply have led Ace of Trumps and another instead of taking a second As the cards Declarer would have made an Over but in the worst a defender would have scored a second Trump and shifted to a Declarer would simply win the Ace and run his Diamond and Dum mys last Trump would be the fulfilling As South you hold 4kqj j7 0 ak105 partner opens the bidding with four what action do you take have a very Fine but it is not enough for you must be off either two aces or an Ace and a Trump if partner had something like seven hearts headed by the aka and an outside he would have opened the auction with one heart rather than a preemptive bid of four you hold 41092 vj8652 okj5 the bidding has proceeded West North East South 1 4 Dale pass 7 what do you bid now facing a takeout you have quite a Good and it is your duty to advise partner of this jump to three a bid of Only two hearts could be made on a and partner will pass with Many hands that could produce a a jump response to a takeout double is not As South you hold 4j105 763 oj10865 partner opens the bidding with one what do you respond Only 5 High card we would not blame you if you we Are reluctant to take that action with such Good Trump since a raise to two Spades would be too in we would respond one no Trump to see How partner both South North 4j94 j 5 0 aj87

artificial two club opening and norths positive two no Trump the rest of the auction was note that norths four Diamond bid had to be a Cue bid in support of clubs he had had two chances to bid his diamonds if it had been a and had refrained from mentioning West led the ten of diamonds since it is psychologically damaging to go Down in a grand slam at trick Declarer refused the finesse and won Dummy the Only distribution that would cause a major problem would be a 41 Trump but if Declarer could guess which defender held four he could Cash two High Trumps and then finesse for the Declarer realized that there was no guess he had Only twelve tricks the thirteenth would have to come from a Spade he could not make the hand it East held four once that was the rest was Declarer cashed the King and Queen of Trumps and was not fazed when East failed to follow to the second he cashed the a eking of Spades and crossed to Dum my via a Trump after ruffing a Spade in he returned to the table
