Choosing The Contract
By Ely Culberta
The hand I am presenting to }day" was sent to me by Thomas H. Peebles of Boston, Mass, to illus- trate excellent. deduction and [clever *"squeezing" by a declarer fac a small slam contract in no
trump.
i have no reason to cavil at the statement that the hand was er- ceedingly well played. The des- (cription of the play, given below,
speaks for itself. The more im-i {portant point about this hand, however, is that it preaches a ser- mon, which is just this: No trump slam contracts, unless 12 tricks are cold, usually require absolute perfection in play. The javerage player is not up to dif ficult squeeze plays and therefore it is only the better part of wis- dom for him to choose contracts! that will not offer involved pro- blems.
Compare the tortuous line of play necessary at six no trump with the simple line at six hearts, land my meaning will become cry- Istal clear.
