Miss Brash Plays Hand Well to Take 12 Tricks

“NUCH LUCK,” complained Mr. Champion bitterly when Miss Brash wrapped up 12 tricks on this had. “And such rotten bidding.” “Just what is the exactly proper bid with my hand?” Miss Brash asked. And, of course, she had a point there. You won't find this freak situation mentioned in the text-bYooks. ) There is something to be Miss Brash said for responses of one three, four or five diamonds on Miss Brash’s

hand. Even fine players of equal skill wuold disagree on the best response. Naturally, Miss Brash would .-settle for nothing less than slam. I am not recommending her bid but the fact remains that it was the only way to reach six. And, as she pointed out to Mr. Champion in the finest argument-stopping retort of all: “I made it, didn’t I?” ” EJ » QESTIONABLE AS HER bidding may have been, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Miss Brash’s play of the hand. She ruffed the opening lead of the king of*hearts and promptly led a. spade and finessed the queen. On the ace of spades she parked a club and then she ruffed another heart. Next the king of diamonds was overtaken with the ace and dummy’s last heart led and ruffed. When she followed: with a

to strip her hand and dummy of spades and hearts and then throw him in with a club at a time when he would have no safe return.

” » » ACTUALLY, Mr, Champion's play at this point made no difference, To avert the expected stick-in, he made the best play he could, dropping the king of clubs. This play would have been a killer if Mr. Abel had held both queen and jack of clubs. But it was not to be. After winning with the ace of clubs, Miss Brash led and ruffed dummy’s last spade, She then got to the board again by overtaking her eight of diamonds with the nine. Now a club was led toward her jack and Abel could win the queen of ¢lubs but no other trick." If* Mr. Champion had not ditched the king of clubs, he would have been thrown in with that ‘card and forced to return a heart or a spade in which case Miss Brash would
