The second youngest player at the european Junior championship was 20-year-old David Fohrer of Israel who Learned the game in 1988. We Are impressed with How Fohrer As Declarer handled this hand As Declarer from the Israel Turkey encounter. The auction was routine if you consider North a hand to be Worth a vulnerable opening bid. However if North passes and South opens the same contract is Likely to result. West a club Lead was taken by the Ace and a club was ruffed in hand. The Jack of hearts lost to West Sace and the club return was ruffed. Declarer took a winning Diamond finesse cashed the Ace and exited with a Diamond to West s King. This was now the position North a q9 2 9 10 8 o 6 a West East 9 j 8 6 3 k 10 5 9 a 9 9 7 0 8 0 a a 9 k South a a 7 4 9kq6 0 a a West chose to exit with the eight of diamonds. Declarer ruffed in hand As East discarded a club then Drew the remaining Trumps. Since West had shown up with the King of diamonds and a Singleton Ace of hearts Declarer decided that East was More Likely to hold the King of Spades. So South continued with a Low Spade and when West followed Low. Dummy a nine was inserted. East won the ten and returned a Low Spade but Declarer ran it to the Queen and a contract that was Defeated one trick in the other room sailed Home. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold 4akq103 9 8764 0 9 4kq10 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 1 pass 1 a pass 2 pass ? what do you bid now almost surely has a six card suit on this auction so it wont take much to make slam. Advise partner of your interest by jumping to four clubs. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold a akqj964 9 8 oa1032 a the bidding has proceeded West North East South 1 9 pass 1 it ? what action do you take we have known everyone to pass in these auctions and the result in one no Trump doubled or perhaps even redoubled will be pleasant. The alternative is a Cue bid of two hearts. A cd in 3howu.1vh v tied in Ninons the Kihm. <1ivs <1nv duh v in Ronzio tvs Hoo i4�md<3 to �?T0 a Many q. A both vulnerable As South you hold k7 9aj65 0ak764 k5 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 0 pass 2 2 9 ? what action do you take almost certainly can make a games three no Trump should be in the Bank. However unless partner is highly distributional you can pick up a useful piece of change at no risk whatsoever by doubling. We would expect 800 or better. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold 4k7 9aj65 0ak764 k5 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 0 pass 2 2 9 dbl pass 3 a pass ? what do you bid now have not yet shown partner your great strength. Since North has shown a Long Good club suit and probably heart shortness you Are in slam possibly grand slam territory. We would Start with a Cue bid of three hearts but Are prepared to award Consolation Points to those who leaped directly to six clubs. Q. A neither vulnerable As South you hold a a72 9kj 0 akq762 q7 partner opens the bidding with one heart. What do you respond have an excellent suit of your own a Strong hand and two key cards in partners suit. Tell partner the Good news that slam is in the offing with a jump shift to three diamonds.
