European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 24, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Goren on Bridge by  Arles Goren and Omar Sharif surprised by the entry both vulnerable. West deals. North a 9 9 10 8 5 4 3 2 0 10 4 a j 7 3 2 West East # a 8 5 4 #63 9kj9 9 a q 7 0 a k 9 2 0 a a 7 65 3 #98 k 5 South a k q j 10 7 2 9 6 0 8 a a q 10 6 1 the bidding West North East South 1 0 pass 3 0 3 a dbl pass pass pass opening Lead King of 0 one careless play by a defender made the world of difference on this hand. That Many other defenders would have made the same error was Little Consolation. South took a bold step when he entered into a forcing auction on Only a fair hand in High eard Points and Good distribution. West a decision to double rather than bid three no Trump was questionable As was South a failure to try four clubs a contract that would have proved simple As the cards lie. East dropped the Queen of diamonds under the King at trick one to show Possession of the Jack. West kept the defense on course by continuing with diamonds forcing Declarer to Ruff. With nothing better to do Declarer led a Low Spade and West fell from Grace by following Low enabling Dummy a nine to win. Declarer took advantage of being on the table to run the Jack of clubs then repeated the finesse. When the suit split evenly Declarer reverted to Trumps. West took the Ace and continued diamonds but it was too late. Declarer ruffed Drew Trumps and ran clubs to make the doubled contract with an Over trick. More Alert defense would have inflicted a severe loss on South. Observe the difference had West risen with the Ace of Trumps and continued with a Diamond. It does not help Declarer to discard since the defenders can simply continue by leading Ted suit cards until Declarer Trumps. But once Declarer ruffs the South hand is reduced to the same Trump length As West. With no entry to Dummy for a club finesse should Declarer draw Trumps and then play Ace and another club the defenders will take the rest for Down three. If instead Declarer does t draw Trumps but goes after clubs immediately the defenders simply continue with their forcing defense and Declarer still wont take More than six tricks. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold a 973 0aq976 #akqj10 the bidding has proceeded South went North East 1 0 pass 1 # pass ? what do you bid now  same hand As in the previous example except the suits have been switched. As a result you can no longer insist on game so a jump shift would be a slight overbid. We recommend two clubs. Unless partner can bid again we doubt that you have More than a Par score. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold �T�aq102 96532 kj9 #62 partner opens the bidding with one Diamond. What do you respond  responder any four card suit is biddable in response to a minor suit opening bid. If you Are going to respond in a suit the Rule is to do so up the line. Therefore bid one heart despite the disparity in suit Quality. If you choose one Spade you risk losing a 4-4 heart fit. Q. A neither vulnerable As South you hold �T�q9 98543 cj84 #k965 partner opens the bidding with two answers for crypt quip Ana sunday crossword a Vav   s v a Jonh Lyvo i u room let Nih Ollil  Akk Nhy Ido i Oishi Diihr Ilij k Man Puihim a  no Trump. What do you respond  certainly want to be in game. However if you have a 4-4 major suit fit your ruffing value makes a four heart contract look More attractive. Bid three clubs the Stayman convention to find out about partners holding. Q. A neither vulnerable As South you hold #1097643 95 0kq8 #q103 the bidding has proceeded East South West North pass pass 1 9 dbl pass ? what do you bid now  in support of partners promised Spade suit your hand is Worth some 12 Points. To make an invitational jump to two Spades would be pusillanimous. Make partners life easy by going directly to four Spades. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold #95 9aq10865 of #kq107 the bidding has proceeded East South West North 3 0 3 9 pass 3 it pass ? what action do you take . Done to let that sixth heart Blind you to what surely is the Best contract. Partner expects to make nine tricks at no Trump opposite your Overall so Trust partners judgment and be Happy you Are delivering such a Fine hand. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold #1684 9aj6 0k7 #kj632 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 # pass 1 # dbl v a what action do you take  have a minimum hand with no unexpected support for partners suit and your five card suit can hardly be called robust.
