The depth
of frustration
iy Phillip Alder
In four spades, you see 10 cast-iron
tricks, but you cannot cash them be-
fore the opponents have taken four. It
is extremely frustrating. Yet some-
times you have only yourself to blame.
Today’s declarer fancied himself as
a potential bridge expert. Unfor-
tunately, he was aiming higher than
his ability would allow. But what would
you have done in his position? Against
four spades, West cashes the club ace,
then switches to a knavish spade
knave — as the English used to call a
jack.
South’s three-spade rebid was invi-
tational. He would normally have 10 or
11 high-card points, but he felt the
heart queen was sufficient compensa- .
tion for the missing point or two.
. The declarer won trick two, then
paused for thought. Assuming a 3-2
trump break, he could see 11 tricks via
five spades, five hearts and the dia-
mond ace. But then he noticed that if
he gave up a trump trick, the oppo-
nents would cash theii;.club winners.
So, South started immediately on the
hearts, discarding a club on the third.
However, West ruffed with the spade
10 and returned the diamond nine.
Thinking that West, having played
the jack and 10, was now out of
trumps, declarer put up dummy’s ace
and played another top heart, throw-
ing a club. But West ruffed with the
queen and cashed the club king to de-
feat the contract.
As you will have seen, South couldn’t
recover at trick six. His error was ear-
lier. He should have let West win trick
two. Then, South can win, say, a dia-
mond switch, draw trumps, and run
the hearts in peace.
Think first, play second.
