But when asked about the Best woman player we have no such qualms. In our opinion the late Helen Sobel Smith ranks head and shoulders above the rest and would rank High on our list of the All time greats. What impressed us about Helen was not just the Way she could work magic with any holding on defense or offence. It was her impressive technique on hands that looked so simple that Many players would fall into a trap and be Defeated before they even realized there was any danger. On this Deal Helen held the South cards at rubber Bridge and somewhat aggressive bidding by her partner got her to a grand slam. Because North s King was in Trumps it was an excellent contract. Yet Many players would Cash their tricks in a haphazard Way and go Down. Helen As usual tackled the hand with deadly accuracy. She took the Ace of diamonds and Drew Trumps in two rounds. A Diamond Ruff was followed by a club to the Ace and another Diamond Ruff. When East discarded a Diamond on the King of clubs Declarer carefully cashed the Ace of hearts then ruffed her remaining club on the Board. The four of hearts was led and when East covered with the five Helen confidently inserted the six West had already shown up with seven clubs three diamonds a heart and two Spades so the deep finesse had to win. Q. As South vulnerable you hold 4j762 \akq63 095 65 partner opens the bidding with one no Trump. What do you respond  ruffing values in the minor suits you should make every Effort to find an eight card fit in a major. Start by bidding two clubs a request for partner to show a major. Raise any major bid to game jump to three hearts if partner de Nies a major by rebinding two diamonds. Q.
