Sheinwold On Bridge Poisoned Gilt Kills Declarer By Alfred Sheinwold Once upon a time there was a wicked stepmother who spent her time asking: “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the greatest bridge player of all?" The stupid mirror couldn’t spell complicated names like Sheinwold, so it settled for the woman's stepdaugh-

The daughter played the queen of spades from dummy. the mother played the ace, and the daughter snickered as she ruffed. The beautiful girl led out the ace and king of hearts, stopping for thought when the jack appeared. “Hum,’’ she remarked. (She was witty as well as beautiful. ) The damsel’s next step was to cash the ace of clubs and lead the queen of dubs to her stepmother’s king. FAMILIAR STORY Of course you know wh^t happens in a story like this. The stepmother gives the beautiful girl a poisoned apple, and the damsel drops dead. » In this case the mother gave the girl a poisoned spade trick. Knowing that the damsel couldn't poasibly get to dummy for the kiag of spades, the wicked woman nevertheless returned the

six of spades. The poor girl discarded a club and won in dummy with the king of spades. When she returned a diamond West won with the ace of diamonds and led another spade to make the girl ruff. Now the poor girl had only one trump, and West still had two trumps. No matter what she did she was sure to go down. The damsel was a dead duck, and the mother triumphantly turned the mirror to the wall. This happened a long time ago. Today we would all know enough to develop the clubs before touching trumps. Then if we got stuck in the dummy by a spade return we could still lead trumps to reach our own hand. Those old mirrors aren’t so smart about bridge players. DAILY QUESTION Partner deals and bids one club, and the next player passes. You holth S-K Q 5 4 3 H-7 4 D 9 7 6 5 C6 5. What do you say? Answer: Bid one spade. You have only 5 points in high cards but should stretch a point to respond since you have a strong 5-card major suit.
