In general, the discard etc.). of a high card indicates that the signaler wants By Brent Manley the suit led. The discard of a low card indicates Some tips for taking To show an even number, you normally “echo” – i.e., play high–low: say, the 5 followed by the no high-card strength in that suit. more tricks on defense Suit preference – This occurs most frequently DO 3.To show an odd number, reverse the order of play: low followed by high: the 4 followed by the when a player is giving his partner a ruff. Say Discuss carding your partner leads the ♠9 against a contract of 4♥. strategy with your 5. This can be very important when declarer has a long, strong suit in dummy missing the ace and This is the layout (you are East): partner so that the two Dummy of you are on the same with no outside entries. It is critical for the partner with the ace to know how many times he should ♠ K Q 4 3 page. If you and your ♥ J 9 7 partner are not signaling hold up to cut declarer off from that long suit. The partner of the player with the ace must indicate ♦ K 3 2 on defense, here are ♣ Q J 9 5 some rules. count so that the ace can be taken at just the right moment. You ♠ A 10 6 5 2 ♥ 7 3 ♦ A Q 6 ♣ 10 7 2 Declarer plays dummy’s king and you win the ace. You are hopeful that West’s lead was a singleton and you play accordingly. If it is a singleton, you have a chance to take the first five tricks (♠A, spade ruff, diamond to the queen, spade ruff, diamond to the ace). Of course, South must have at least two diamonds. To take the maximum number of tricks, you must make sure partner knows to return a diamond. You accomplish that by the card you play for partner to ruff. If you and partner have discussed this situation, you will know that if you return your ♠10 – the highest card you can play – partner will know to return the higher of the non-trump suits: diamonds. You get in with the ♦Q and play another spade. Partner ruffs a second time and puts you in with a diamond to the ace. With an entry in clubs, you would have returned the ♠2 for partner’s first ruff. DON’T Give up if there is a chance for another trick, which brings me to one more note about signaling, and this is worth putting on your list for discussion. If partner in the example had “ started with ♥K 6 5, he would have ruffed the ” first spade with the ♥6 and the second with the ♥5. This is known as a “trump echo,” indicating an odd number of trumps – three in most cases. Play commentary: As South, win the ♥K at With nothing left to lose in the example, play Thinking bridge trick two, higher equal for deceptive purposes. As another spade. Declarer is out of the suit, but By Eddie Kantar it happens, you can even misguess the ♠Q and take on the off chance that partner started with three Dlr: South ♠ K J 8 5 nine tricks, but if you were in a contract of 4♠, you hearts to the king, your spade play will promote Vul: None ♥ 4 3 2 would have to find the ♠Q to make your contract. that card to a winner.

As it Pass 3NT All Pass happens, both follow to three rounds of clubs so Opening lead: ♥7. you don’t get any more information. Stick with Bidding commentary: As North, it is plan A and play East for the ♠Q. The full deal: generally not a good idea to use Stayman with ♠ K J 8 5 a flat hand. In this case, even though you have ♥ 4 3 2 missed a 4-4 spade fit, 3NT is a better contract ♦ 9 3 2 because your hand and partner’s hand have the ♣ A K 5 same distribution. ♠ 4 3 ♠ Q 7 2 Defensive commentary: West’s lead is normal ♥ J 9 8 7 6 ♥ A 10 Trisha Pitts of Kansas City MO and Judi (fourth-highest).
