BRIDGE NOTES

A TRIPLE CROSS

By Ely Culbertson,

Practically every Bridge playe knows about the simple false-card. A false-card in its basic sense is the drop of an unnecessarily high card on a trick-winning card of an opponent for the purpose of mis- leading the opponents. Similarly, in winning a trick, if the Declarer wins with a card higher thans would be necessar”, that also is al false-card and may mislead the de- fence.

*

Ap unusual form of the latteri type of false-card is that in which the Declarer, in winning

trick with a higher card than necessary. gives up a sure winner at least! temporarily. This occurs when, for instance, a fourth best of al suit is opened against a three- notrump contract, third hand puts up the Jack, and Declarer, holding Ace-Queen-small, wins with the Ace. The purpose of this false-) card of course is to avoid a shiftį to another suit.

An even more unusual false-card occurs in the hand below, in which Richard L Frey of New York City, as the Declarer, completely double-į crossed the opponents.
