Daily Bulletin Page 3 JUST FOR NEW PLAYERS Dangerous Opponents By Lynn Berg While it is true that our opponents always try to be dangerous, it helps when planning the play of the hand to figure out which is the dangerous opponent. As you plan the play of a contract, you usually count losers and look for ways to eliminate them. In notrump, count winners and look for more. But your opponents have a game plan, too, and you must take care to protect your contract from their plans. You have opened 1NT with what looks like a good spade stopper: K-J-9. A spade is led, and dummy produces the ♠7 6. You play low and third hand plays the 10, so you win the Jack. Do you know which opponent is the dangerous one? Although your left-hand opponent has the spade length, it is the right-hand opponent who is dangerous. If lefty wins a trick in another suit, he can’t lead a spade without giving you another trick in the suit. But lefty’s partner, upon winning a trick, can lead through your spade holding and defeat your contract if LHO started with more than four spades. You can have dangerous opponents in trump contracts, too. Your right-hand opponent has bid hearts, and you end up playing the contract in spades. Lefty leads the ♥A and you chuckle to yourself: you have ♥K 7 2. LHO continues hearts and you win the king. Now who’s dangerous? Surely not the fellow with the doubleton heart but rather his partner, who can lead hearts and give partner a . Check out this deal. You are in 3NT. ♠ K J 9 7 ♥ 9 8 4 ♦ A 8 7 5 4 ♣ 7

Your luck continues as you cash the two top diamonds and find finesse of the ♠10 loses, lefty can’t hurt you in hearts and he can’t get his partner them 2-2. You have counted your winners: five diamonds, a heart, two in. If RHO has the ♣A, he can get in and return a heart, but you can’t help that. spades for sure.
