Goren Bridge: The illusion

The Hindu  

South’s five-club bid is perfectly reasonable. He did not know whether or not four spades was making — it wasn’t — but five clubs might also make and it could not be a very expensive sacrifice. West found the most effective lead of a trump, preventing any real chance of ruffing two hearts in dummy. South’s first thought was that …

Goren Bridge: Interesting hand

The Hindu  

Today’s deal is from a recent tournament in Europe. The given auction is a little obscure, but many pairs reached six diamonds, presumably after different auctions. A club slam might seem better but note that a club slam would quickly fail after a diamond ruff. Several West players cleverly led a low spade from their ace. The lead killed declarer’s …

South in today’s deal was American expert Owen Lien. Lien won in dummy with the ace and cashed three high hearts to discard the remaining diamond from dummy. Lien ruffed a diamond in dummy as West shed another spade. Lien led a club back to his ace, pleased to see the jack from East. In this two-card ending, Lien led …

Goren Bridge: Canadian slam?

The Hindu  

Today’s deal reminds us of a tournament in Canada some years ago that attracted many American experts. The Americans responded the next day with a suggested defense to a Canadian Slam – cash your two aces, then sit back and wait for your trump trick. The best technical chance was to cash the ace of diamonds, ruff a spade in …

‘Dummy’ candidates, coerced voting: Inside Bangladesh’s election ‘charade’

Al Jazeera  

With the main opposition boycotting Sunday’s election, the ruling party has been accused of fielding ‘dummies’ and threatening people to turn up on voting day. ‘Mockery of our democracy’ Since the opposition’s boycott call, Hasina’s party had been scrambling to field independent – or “dummy” – candidates to make the election look fair. “They came to my house and threatened …

Goren Bridge: The extra step

The Hindu  

South in today’s deal was a young professional playing with an enthusiastic student from his local club. The young pro took one look at dummy and thought: “I’m gonna get fired if I don’t find the queen of clubs.” South played low from dummy on the opening heart lead and ruffed East’s jack. He cashed the two top diamonds in …

Goren Bridge: Timing

The Hindu  

North-South have adequate values for game, but what game? When North admitted to having two spades, South took advantage of his great spade quality and drove to game in their 5-2 fit. It was pointless for South to lead another heart, as the defense would just win and lead another spade. Assuming a normal 3-2 diamond split, this would give …

The initial success of the replicas led Ukraine to …

A second club forced dummy to ruff and South couldn’t avoid the loss of two trumps and two clubs. McCallum also won …
