you ever thought of the varlous things a player should consider when deciding
the way he should tackle the play of the com bined hands?
•
Assuming that the hands do not provide a lay-down siam, must (1) Endeavour to draw viini in- ferences from the card led by diagnosing the meaning of R, even if it is a card of the suit hid by the leader's partner (2) Count up hir potential winners and losers as well as the certain ones. (3) Dr. cide whether (1) the hand should be cross-ruffed: (18) trumps should be drawn
awn as soon as possible, (tik) Dumny's trumps are available for rufling losern; (iv) a second sult should be established before trumpi are drawn: (v) finesses should be taken
avoided by an end or squeeze-play: (vi) "take a view" correct. If possible of the prob uble adverse distribution, and place the adverse high cards, e- pecially it the opponents have done any bidding. (vl) where Dummy is short of re-entries, determine whether a hidden one cannot be established.
от
Do you wonder, with some or review, most of these things to why the good player always stops
think
from before playing Dummy to the first trick, even if Dummy's holding in the sult led is a singleton.
As I have said before in these articles, it is essential that the Declarer should always endeavour to formulate some definite line of campaign upon which to work in playing the combined hands. Na- turally enough, he will often have to vary it as the hand develops distribu- and be inds the adverse tion coiltrary to his hopes. Ir there has been nothing in the bid- ding to guide you, as Declurer, as to the probable position of the
should adverse high cards, you sume, in planning the play, that they lie as you would wish them to do within reason, of course. It is useless to expect the worst; rather look for the best, and only alter your plans if you find Calf wrong in your provisional placing of the cards in the op- ponents hands.
DE~
I suppose that really there is a psychological reason for the quick player; either he thinks that by playing unduly quickly, he creates an impression of skill, or else he is of the "play fast and for 'em" variety who, by a sort of bluster- ing play, hopes to confuse or be muse his opponents. He is far less successful than he thinks. O
not suggest you 'course. should dawdle unnecessarlly over the play; on the other hand, do ponder carefully over the problem set you as Declarer when Dummy's cards are first exposed. It is a problem, you know; it varies con- siderably in difficulty, but is none the leas something to be solved.
