THE trouble
with certain
bridge players is that they think only with their own brain. -Sometimes it's more important 10 Uhrink with nn opponent's brains,
Take today's hand for example, South was brilliant-except that he forgot the human factor.
South rufted the opening diamond lead, eashed the ace of hearts, And then led the ten of spades. It was a plendid Idea-os far as it went. lin was whiling to give up eno trump trick to make sure of getting to tummy with the nine of spades. Then, he would discard low, clubs on the king and queen of hearte.
When this land was played, nearly 20 years ago, the East cards were held by Lee Hazen, Today Hazen is one of the best bridge players in the country, but at that time he had been playing the game for only a few months.
Nevertheless it wasn't dificult for him to see that declarer was trying to Live up a trump trick in order to reach dummy. So Fast refused to win the trick.
Declarer was still far from beaten. Jie laid down the ace of clubs and followed with the king of clius. If Hazen ruffed, the defence would te washed up. Declarer would win any return, capture the jack of trumps, and enter dummy with the nine of Srumps.
Beginner, though, he was at the

And now declarer was washed up. There was just nothing he could do with his two low clubs. If he tried to ruff them in dummy, East would over-rust. It he drew trumps. West would eventually win two club tricks. South went wrong because he opponents would surely lock him if he made his plans erytalefear! The right plan for the hand is to ruft the first diamond and immediately lead the ace and king of clubs,
