The Winner in the words of the Southern civil War Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest is the one who Quot gits there fastest with the mos test a the bidding was straightforward enough. Since the Only Strong bid Over an opponents takeout double is a redouble North was Able to show a Strong distributional hand by leaping All the Way to game thereby buying the contract. West attacked with the Queen of diamonds. There were three unavoidable losers the aces of Trumps Spades and clubs. In Addi lion. West a Lead struck at the one soft spot in the combined holding the thir it around Diamond loser. Time is of the essence. First Declarer must decide in which hand to win the first trick. It is vital to do so in Dummy Declarer a King of diamonds is a key entry. Next Declarer cannot afford to play even one round of Trumps West will win Force out the remaining Diamond stopper and then win a trick in a Black suit before Declarer has established a Winner for a discard Declarer desperately need to find a parking place for the Diamond loser As soon As possible. To the second trick a Spade must be led toward the closed hand. Although that loses to the Ace and the attack on diamonds is continued Declarer is a Tempo ahead. After winning the King of diamonds Declarer discards a Diamond on the King of Spades and makes the contract. Note that had Declarer won the first trick in hand there would have been no entry to the closed hand to take the discard on the King of Spades. Though Declarer would have been ahead in the race he would have to give up the Lead in an attempt to get Back to hand and the defenders would have crossed the finish line first. Q.

Its a question of whether to make a takeout double or show your suit. We prefer five hearts. The suit is quite solid and whatever partner has in clubs will mesh Well with your hand. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold �T�k804 9qj873 0843 47 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 14 19 ? what action do you take , we Are not suggesting you make a penalty double with this hand your Trumps Aren t Good enough or that you bid your anaemic Spades. As is usually the Case when the enemy bids your longest suit pass. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold 4akq6 9aj5 ovoid 4aj7543 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 4 pass 1 0 pass ? what action do you take have an enormous hand but you cannot guarantee it will produce games your void in partner s suit is a liability. We dislike making a jump shift when we Don t know where we re going especially since our first suit lacks Quality. Bid one Spade. Q.

Therefore we Are reluctant to rebid our diamonds Artner might pass fearing a misfit verse our heart and club holdings and we would bid four Spades. As it is we feel three Spades a sufficient.
