THE RECOMMENDED LINE WORKS ALSO WEST NORTH EAST
76 AK3 984
By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist J852 Q K 10 6 3
AK98 QJ7643 52
Abba Eban, an Israeli politician who was raised and educated in England, said, “History 10 7 4 QJ5 K982
teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other
alternatives.” SOUTH
Q J 10 5 2
This is the same deal as last week. The original scribe claimed that after the trump lead, A974
South could not make four spades if he ruffed two hearts in the dummy. As demonstrated 10
last week, that would have worked. However, what was the alternative line that the author A63
recommended?
Dealer: South; Vulnerable: East-West
South was right to open one spade despite having only 11 high-card points. He had the
majors, two aces and an easy rebid. He had a seven-loser hand (two spades, two hearts, The Bidding:
one diamond and two clubs) should partner have a fit for one of the majors. North described
a game-force with three-card spade support. South signed off in four spades with his SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
minimum. (In two-over-one game-forcing, North would have rebid two spades, and South 1 Spades Pass 2 Diamonds Pass
would have jumped to game.) 2 Hearts Pass 3 Spades Pass LEAD:
4 Spades Pass Pass Pass 7 Spades
The author proposed establishing dummy’s diamond suit. Take the first trick in hand and play
the diamond 10. Suppose West wins and leads his second trump. Now comes a play that I
mentioned last week: a ruffing finesse. Declarer runs dummy’s diamond queen and discards
a heart from his hand (not a low club, but interestingly the club ace is OK!).

West wins and shifts to a heart. South takes the trick with his ace and leads a low club to
dummy’s jack. East wins with the king and returns a heart, but declarer trumps in the dummy,
ruffs a diamond, draws West’s last trump, crosses to the club queen and runs the diamonds.
