European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 15, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Goren on Bridge by Charles Goren and Omar Sharif a a i Quot the a   out damned spot both vulnerable.

At the Bridge table however Penny Wise is sometimes Pound foolish. The auction was routine. North South were playing a 21-22 Range for a two no Trump opening bid and North a five card suit headed by an Ace was More than ample for a raise to game. West led a fourth Best club and East a ten lost to Declarer a Jack. Everyone followed Low to the King of diamonds and on the Diamond continuation West contributed the Queen. Declarer ducked in Dummy. No return could do Declarer any harm so the contract sailed Home with three Spade tricks four diamonds and a trick each in clubs and hearts. Declarer displayed Good technique. Unfortunately the same thing cannot be mid of West a defense. From the auction West could be sure that East could not hold More than 3-4 Points. Equally certain was that unless East could gain the Lead the contract was probably going to succeed. West a Best Chance to manufacture an entry to partners hand was to Hope that East held the Jack of diamonds guarded twice. At trick two West should have jettisoned the Queen of diamonds under Declarer a King Declarer cannot come to nine tricks without developing the Diamond suit and that is no longer possible without surrendering a trick to East. A club return then nets the defenders four club tricks and a Diamond Down one. Q. A neither vulnerable As South you hold #73 9874 Oak a #akq10 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 0 pass 1 # pass 7 what do you bid now  Prospect of an 11-trick contract in a minor or a Spade game Are Remote because of our balanced hand and poor support for partners suit. If there is a game it is most Likely to be three no Trump. Therefore we would choose a rather unorthodox two no Trump for our rebid despite the fact that hearts Are uns topped. Q. A neither vulnerable As South you hold #874 973 Oak a #akq10 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 0 pass 1 # pass ? what do you bid now  same hand As before except that the major suit holdings have been reversed. Now a four Spade contract is a More viable possibility and a jump to two no Trump could shut out that fit. Our Choice now would be three clubs to see if partner can rebid Spades.

Still you hold More than half the prime cards in the deck which Means your Point count is undervalued. Show a Good hand and reasonable suit by jumping to three hearts. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold #4 98632 085 #akq1094 your right hand opponent opens the bidding with one Diamond. What action do you take  is a matter of style. If you play weak jump overalls by All Means bid three clubs. If you done to Overall two clubs. Even if partner has next to nothing it is unlikely that anyone can double you for penalties because of your Trump Quality. A a both vulnerable As South you hold #a6 9aj1083 of adj #kj3 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 9 pass 3 9 pass ? what do you bid now , methods dictate your course. If North a jump raise is forcing showing a hand Worth 1-3-15 Points yours revalued to 21. That gives a combined count of 34-36�? enough for a Small slam but Short of a grand slam. With first or second round control of All suits we favor an immediate six hearts. If North a jump is a limit raise rather than a game Force be Content with a Cue bid of three Spades your cheapest Ace. Slam might still be in the cards but you need cooperation from partner.
