For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

It would be wrong to make a take out double followed by bidding hearts as this would show a suit at least as strong as that shown with 15+ points. North with good support and two aces invites to game rather than bidding game directly as the overcall strength can be wide ranging. South , with only 6 losers, bids game without hesitation. West leads the 10D to the A and then K and a third diamond which is ruffed followed by the 10S from West. What next? The diamond position was a bit of a surprise, with East proving to have five in that suit. They must also have precisely 5 spades (if East had 6, West could not raise to 2S with only a doubleton) If East is void in hearts there is no way to avoid a further loser but you should be able to pick up the trumps without loss when East has one or two trumps. Since East must have at least one club (five spades, five diamonds and two hearts at most) a simple discovery play will be all revealing. Winning the spade with KS at trick 4 play AC and another. If East follows to both clubs they can have no more than one trump, so you can ruff and lay down the AH. If East shows out on the second round of clubs you will know with certainty that they hold the guarded KH.

Kate, aka Karen, has won six Women’s World Championships and one Mixed World Championship, multiple National and Regional titles in her home country, USA, as well as European and National titles all over the world, including our own Gold Coast Teams. From 1973 onwards, Kate’s primary occupation has been as a professional bridge player. She is also a bridge teacher, mentor and coach. Background: Born in San Francisco, California, Kate grew up as daughter of a U.S. Air Force Colonel.
