Louie’s blocked suit

October 28, 2022October 28, 2022cpooldigitalLeave a Comment

Hard Luck Louie was once again trying to win the club’s Saturday night duplicate. West found the excellent opening lead of a trump. It was pointless for Louie to try for a club ruff in dummy, as the defense would be able to prevent that with repeated trump leads. There would be no overtrick, but […]

Caracci did well to discard a club from […]

A declarer will sometimes have a blind spot in the play of a hand. The winning play is right there but he just can’t see it. West found the excellent lead of a trump. South won and led the queen of clubs. West won with the ace and continued his good work by leading another […]

Good guess

Today’s deal is from a recent competition in Australia. South was Australian expert Sophie Ashton. Many players agree to play the same system after a one-no-trump overcall that they play after a one-no-trump opening bid. North’s two-club bid was the Stayman convention, asking for a four-card major. North-South thus reached game in their four-four spade […]
