BRIDGE NOTES

Not Luck But Judgment

By By Culbertson

Bridge tragedies more often are due to human frailty than to the malignant interference of fate. This statement must not that be interpreted to mean there is no such thing as a "bad" break." Every player of long experience has suffered from having the cards seemingly stacked against him at some time or other. But it is unfair and unintelligent to count as "a break" anything that could have been avoided by either care or sagacity.

I am quite sure that the hap- less declarer in to-day's hand felt he was a victim of the evil eye when the opponents chalk- ed up a 1,700 point penalty | against him. Personally, I feel much greater sympathy for his partner.
