Doing #4 Rock Creek what comes 947-3630 naturally Contract Bridge By Steve Becker Salado Civic Center Occasionally, the correct Designed to serve the Village of Salado play is missed by declarer because there is a natural Also: aversion to doing it. For this Bandstand - Gazebo reason, declarer must make Rental Rooms For: every effort to keep an open mind, regardless of how pat Family/Class Reunions a particular situation may Weddings - Wedding Receptions seem to be. Rehearsal Dinners Consider this case where Business Meetings & Luncheons South was in three notrump Style Shows • Concerts and West led a spade. Declarer played the jack from dummy and allowed 601 North Main Street East’s queen to hold. The (254) 947-8300 next spade was likewise refused, and a third spade was taken by the ace. South now cashed the queen of diamonds, led a club to the ace and played the A-K of diamonds. But Susan Marie’s when the suit failed to The Brands, the Selection, the Personal Service divide 3-3, declarer was Since 1985 finished. The only tricks he could score were his seven top winners, so he wound up down two. Declarer erred by ALL Shoes On Sale banking everything on an even split of the missing diamonds, about a 36 percent proposition. This approach made him nearly All Reef’s on SALE a 2-1 underdog. South could have nearly doubled his All Yellowbox on Sale chances by making the seemingly unnatural play of overtaking the queen of diamonds with the king and cashing the ace. When West’s ten appears, the nine is conceded to the jack, assuring declarer of nine tricks. This line of play is far better than the one actually adopted by South. It not only makes the contract when the diamonds divide 3-3, but also whenever the suit breaks 4-2 and the player with the doubleton has either 10-x or J-x. Since the doubleton ten or jack will be dealt to one defender or the other 29 times in 100, declarer can thus elevate his chances of bringing in five diamond tricks to about 65 percent, Visit us on Facebook making him almost a 2-1 Susan Maries of Salado favorite to finish with at least nine tricks. 254-947-5239 - Downtown Salado - 201 North Main St. (c) 2011 King Features Syndicate Inc.
