Now you could take the diamond finesse, but the roof rates to fall in should it lose. Let’s say you cross to a top diamond to take the heart finesse. North wins and cashes a club.

At the table, my partner pitched a discouraging spade and I led a fourth club for him to ruff with the 10 to promote my ♥9 for two down. Bid Box Alerts and Announcements When using bid boxes, the ACBL requires that players tap the Alert strip and say “Alert” at the same time. When making an Announcement, use the Announcement word (such as “transfer”) and tap the Alert strip at the same time. A player who Alerts or Announces a bid must make sure his opponents are aware that an Alert or Announcement has been made. Daily Bulletin Page 5

Left on lead with only hearts, 153 , Memphis TN; Paul Munafo, Huntsville AL 595.77 South would have been forced to surrender two 154 Zoran Peca, Vancouver BC; June Pocock, New Westminster BC 595.32 tricks. If he played his high heart, Kantar would 155 Mark Teaford, Seal Beach CA; Steven Johnson, San Diego CA 592.09 simply have discarded a losing diamond and thrown 156 Daniel Korbel, Waterloo ON; Jonathan Steinberg, Toronto ON 591.16 his other two on the forced heart continuation. If Abdou had led a low heart, Kantar could have inserted the 8, pitching a diamond, and followed with the jack, pitching another diamond. The last losing diamond would then go away on the ♥10.
