JACOBY ON BRIDGE

Keep Mind on Came Is Sound Advice

BY OBWALD JACOBY

Д

A does an expert think about when he goes into long huddle? Does he just sit at the table and wonder what he, would like to cat for break- funt the next, morning, or does he really apply himself to the problem at hand?

I cannot deny that some ex- perts go wool-gathering at the bridge table. In general, how- ever, the experi does keep his nind ou his business and does a good deal of his reasoning along the lines of "If he hadɗa, he woulda," Let's see how this work out in the hand shown today.

West opened a low heart, and declarer ployed low from dunny, not knowing that East had a singleton king. East won with the king of hearts and shifted to the king of diamonds, whereupon South took the ace the of diamonds und returned suit to force out East's queen.

East plugged away at dia- monds, returning the nine. South let the nine of diamonds hold, but took the next trick with dummy's jack of diamonds. Declarer's next step was to lend

This gave the enemy their atler fourth defensive trick. which South needed the rest of the tricks to make his "con- tract,

West returned another heart, and declarer cashed in order the ace and queen of hearis, the Oce of clubs, the jack of hearts, and the king of spades.

The queen of spades dropped on declarer's king, and declarer next led a spade towards the dunimy and wondered whether to nesse the ten or to go зар with dummy's acc of spades. East had very cleverly played the jock and the king of clubs. saving the ten of clubs.

East was known to have one Cinmond, and the Idea was to make it seem that he had more clubs in order that South would believe that East still had the Jack of spades.

South recognised the pos- sibility that East's unknown card was the lack of spades, and he thought about it. If East's unknown card happened to be a club, all of East's plays were deceptive, but quite logical,
