CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

This is the second of three spe- cial articles by Mr. McKowney "on the "Rule of Eleven."

In my previous article, the rule of eleven was explained. Follow- ing are several examples show- ing how to apply this rule cor- rectly...

In every case, South Is the de- clarer at no trump, North the dummy, West is the opening lend- or and the card led in in paren- thesis. East is the partner of the lender.

Example No. 1

Winning low-then unblocking AUIL

North-Dummy Q-10-6

Weat Leader East-Partner K-9-8-(4)-3 AJ-7-5 South-Declarer 2

West opens the four spot, his fourth best. Applying the rule of eleven, four from eleven leaves

There are three in neven.

the dummy, and as East, the partner of the original leader, holds four, he knows that the declarer Bolda no card higher than the four spot. Therefore, if the declarer plays the six from dummy, East's seven spot will hold the trick. Like- wise, if the declarer plays the ten, East will win the trick with the jack; if the declarer plays the queen, East will win with the ace.

Supposing the declaror played the six, the seven now holds the trick. Cant should return the ace, and then the jack, unblocking the suit so that his partner can make the fifth card of that suit. If East were return the five spot, West would be forced to win with the king; then when West returned the auit East, would have it blocked with the ace-jack.

Example No. 2

Winning low and returning an- other suit to weakness.

West opens the five of spades. Five from eleven leaves alx. As there are three in the dummy, East holding three knows that the eard higher declarer holds than the five spot.

no

ff dummy plays the seven or nine ten, East should play the over the seven and the jack over the ten. Enst should then lend another suit.

There is an old rule in bridge that says "Lead through strength and up to weakness," therefore East should select a suit which is weak in dummy. This is done in nn endeavour to get West, his part. ner, in the lead again to return the spades, which would prevent the declarer from making à spade trick.
