MOST

American bridge players consider

Helen bridge Sobel the best woman

If player in the country,

you ask the experts themselves they would not say it In Just this way. They would agree that she is one

of the best players an the country and would add that Roes for men as well as for women.

Helen plays so many hands with- but apparent thought that the legend has grown up that the plays by the sinet, rather than by reason. This of course, Is Just the bunk.

She does her thinking just na we mere men have to, but she doem't make Auch a fuss about it,

To support this statement, I affer the hand shown today. West open- ed the jack of diamanda and Mirw Subel who was declarer. studlect the dummy for a second or two before playing. She then won Bie first trick with the ace of diamonds and took the trump farise,

Went won with the king of spoden and retorneil the ten of diamonds, The queen, was played from dum- my, East played the king, and South ruffed.

Declarer next drew the more trump, entered dummy with a top club, and ruffed another diamond. South then cashed duramy's re- maining top club and ruffed a club In her own hand.

Sull withoul apparent thought, Helen's next play was to lay down the ace of hearts and finesse through West for the queen of hourts. When this finesse succeeded, the slam contract was home.

ONLY beginner could

belleve

that all the preliminary plays in diamands and chubs were Bude by instinct. Mr Sobel was ob viously counting out the hands of the defenders.

She discovered that West had started with only two spades and unly

1ww clubs, The diamonds could not be quite 30 declavely

but it was fairly clear that read. Went had either Ave six cards In that suit.

This meant that he must have with either three or four started hearts. Having established these Zaols, Helen took the heart nerve theory that through West un the the player with the greater number of hearts was more likely to have the queert.
