giving them as gifts.

TEACHER’S MANUALS FOR STUDENT TEXTS WEST NORTH EAST
A Q 10 7 6 4 2 3 J8

Barbara Seagram and David Bird published “Planning the Play of a Bridge Hand” in 95 J642 87
2009. Now Jonathan Shute has written two teacher’s manuals to go with that book,
“Planning the Play of a Bridge Hand — Teacher’s Manual for Part 1/Part 2” (all Master SOUTH
Point Press). The teacher uses Shute’s book, and the pupils buy the original. Each book K95
contains six two-hour classes aimed at intermediate or slightly weaker players. The K72
deals are excellent. K3

In this deal, how should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads his
fourth-highest spade, and declarer takes East’s jack with his king? Dealer: West; Vulnerable: Neither

West has a textbook pre-emptive opening bid (although he would prefer a singleton The Bidding:
somewhere). South, assuming his partner has 6 or 7 points, gambles on three no-trump.
SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
Of course, if you or I had been sitting West, we would have led the diamond 10 and 3 NT 3 Spades Pass Pass
defeated the contract by four tricks. Pass Pass Pass LEAD:
7 Spades
South starts with eight top tricks: one spade (the first trick), two hearts and five clubs.
He does not have time to play a diamond, because the defenders will take that trick
and run the spades. (There is no reason to assume that West has an eight-card suit.)
Instead, declarer must take three heart tricks, which involves finding the queen.

It is not guaranteed, but South should use the “empty spaces” principle. West has
seven spades and two clubs, so only four spaces for the heart queen. In contrast, East
has only two spades and two clubs; therefore, he has nine spaces for the heart queen. It
is more than 2-to-1 in favor of finessing through East.
