· HAND'S · TRUMPS
by Ely Culbertson.
Few Bridge players in the actual istress of play can completely vision the possibilities of making the Dummy the master hand - that is, in cases where the trump- strength is evenly divided, dell- the berately accepting Forces in closed band and eventually using the trumps in Dummy to draw any. adverse remaining trumpa. Hands with this type of play occur fre- quently, and in my opinion are more frequently misplayed (than any others at the Bridge table.
Recently Mr. Lewis Osborn, play- the Kowloon Baying in a Duplicate game at
New York, Call Flag "Deschapelles Club, Kelvin Motors. found a way to make a Grand Slam contract by the simple process of making Dummy the master hand.
