European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 10, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Goren on Bridge by Charles Goren and Omar Sharif " the right card at the right time both vulnerable.

A a corollary toe counter thrusts that Declarer has at his com Mand also can be employed by the defense. The auction was straight from the old textbook. Since North did t have diamonds stopped he made a forcing jump raise in clubs and South with a dead minimum and stoppers in the undid suits settled for Che obvious no Trump Fame. West led he six of diamonds taken by East s Ace. Declarer held up the King of diamonds until the third round of the suit then took the club finesse. That lost but East did not have another Diamond and if he did that would have meant the suit had split evenly and the defenders could score Only three Diamond tricks plus a Dob trick in the Bank. As a result Declarer collected 10 tricks. Was this a Normal result any using but had East taken effective countermeasures the con tract would probably have gone Down to defeat. With 15 Points in sight in Dummy East should have worked out that including the 10 Points in his hand some 38 Points could be accounted for. Therefore West could not pos Sibly have a fast entry. Since it would appear that Declarer could not come to nine tricks without taking at least some club tricks East s strategy should have been designed to prevent Declarer from holding up the King of diamonds look what would happen had Easl played the Queen of diamonds to the first trick Declarer could not afford to refuse the trick since the defenders might be Able to collect five Diamond tricks off the Bat when there were 11 tricks to be had with a whining club finesse. Now when East gets in with the King of clubs Ace of diamonds and another allows the defenders to collect four Dia mond tricks for a one trick set. Q.
