How Many errors in bidding and play can you spot on this Deal West led the Ace of Spades and shifted to the King of clubs. Since the hand would be a claimer once Trumps were out of the Way Declarer shot up with Dummy Sace As East followed with the ten to show Poa session of the nine then led a Trump. West won bravely led a Low club and East had an entry to give his partner a Spade Ruff. What a your verdict Quot first West s decision to double was More out of pique than any conviction that he could defeat the contract certainly West should act and since a minor suit fit with partner might2 be enough for game we favor a bid of five clubs. North a redouble was sheer greed. With limited defensive capability North should have been quite satisfied to play a doubled contract. East a decision to sit for four hearts even without a redouble also is mysterious. With such a distributional hand no Points and five card support for partners suit we would have run to five diamonds. South gets a double charge for the play West was obviously Angling for a Spade Ruff so East had to be kept off Lead at All Cost. The simple Way to accomplish that would have been to hold up the Ace of clubs for one round play that ran no risk. Even after winning the club Ace though Declarer could have recovered. Since it was a moral certainty that West held the Ace of diamonds Declarer had available a loser on lose. Avoidance play. South could have led the King of diamonds from the table at trick three and when East could not cover discarded his club. A a quite an impressive charge Sheet for one simple Bridge hand and the Purist might add even More. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold a 4k954 94 0a4 4ak10873 your right hand opponent opens the bidding with a weak two heart bid. What action do you take a a if you simply bid three clubs you run the risk of missing a 4-4 Spade fit. Corrupt is to double for takeout. Should partner bid three diamonds you Are Strong enough to try four clubs. Q.

What action do you take takeout double promises four cards in one major but not necessarily both. Done to pick a suit unilaterally. Cue bid three clubs and let partner choose. Despite two aces and a Singleton club Don t hang partner for his balancing bid. If he can do no More than bid at the three level you should pass.
