Never double a life master

December 15, 2022December 16, 2022cpooldigitalLeave a Comment

[ad_1] Over the years, “Never Double a Life Master” has been sage advice given by Life Masters who have just made a doubled contract, in jest of course. South in today’s deal was not a Life Master… yet. He was 13-yearold Australian Adam Edgtton — a future star. West didn’t know who he was dealing […]

Louie’s blocked suit

October 28, 2022October 28, 2022cpooldigitalLeave a Comment

[ad_1] 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, […]

Underdog wins!

[ad_1] Perfectly normal bidding will sometimes lead to a poor contract, and that is what happened here. There were two minor suit aces to lose, so success depended on holding the hearts to one loser. There are very few lies of the heart suit that would allow that to happen, but South found a way […]

Another Egyptian beauty

[ad_1] South in today’s deal was Egyptian star Walid el-Ahmady. We can’t be sure, but we think South’s four-notrump bid was natural, not Blackwood. North, who had shown nothing, probably felt he was too good to pass after South’s very strong bidding. West could not lead a spade and chose to lead a heart. A […]

Blind spot

[ad_1] 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 […]

The same hand?

[ad_1] Today’s deal is from a recent online team competition. At one table, the auction went as shown, with North blasting into game at his first turn. South won the opening diamond lead in hand with the ace and led a trump. West rose with his ace and shifted to a high heart. South won […]
