Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League TTTE often have been told that * five to five and one-half high card tricks should produce game at the most favorable contract. That is, of course, true in general, but sometimes the most favorable contract is so well concealed that even the most skillful players can not find it. Today’s hand was played in the National Masters’ Contract Pair championship by forty-four of the finest players in the country, and not one of the North and South pairs succeeded in reaching the proper declaration.

AK-J-9-8-7 VlO-9-6 ♦ 10-9-8-6 *lO *q-io- [north] aa . s 4-2 Jr 2 V 8-4-3 VQ-J-7 ft 5 4Q-5-4 ♦ J-7 5 H *J-8-7-*Q-5-4- Dealer 6-3 2 SOUTH *6-3 VA-K-5-2 ♦ A-K-3-2 *A-K-9 103

A little analysis will show that game can be made rather easily in spades if played with North as the declarer. However, the South players were, without exception, so proud of their aces and kings that they refused to let North play the hand at spades, even though he bid and re-bid that suit. The Bidding South’s opening bid depended largely upon the system played or on his individual preference. Most South players bid one or two hearts, although some preferred to open with one or two no trump. In every case, North bid spades, South was delighted to hear the spade bid, for it appeared to fill up the only weakness in his powerful

no trump hand, and he carried the contract to three no trump without hesitation. The Play West opened the deuce of clubs and declarer won with the ace over East’s jack. He now has two possible courses —he may try to establish North’s spades, which seems almost impossible, in view of his own doubleton, or he may play for a break in diamonds, hoping to establisn the fourth card of that suit. In either case, the opponents will establish their clubs as soon as they are permitted to take the lead. If declarer elects to try for the spades and take the double finesse of the nine spot on the second trick, he can make exactly eight tricks. North easily can take ten tricks if spades are trump, conceding only one diamond and two spade tricks to the adversaries. (Copyright. 1932. NEA Service. Inc.)
