How to Play I wVir Wynne Fertfusoa ' ' jnT Author cf 'PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIPOg Cepyrlut,y29,byHoyfc,Jr, - - ; f - ARTICLE No. 5 " i ''''.), In one of our preceding articles, a very interesting band waa given that was played at aa Auction Bridge Tournament at Chicago and the statement state-ment waa made that none of the experts made game on this hand la the analysis given, a number of ways of playing the hand were considered, some of which ecured game and some of which did not. It baa remained tor one of our -correapoadeots m Sua FraAciece te figure out a aoiutiea. ttiat scene to ' have ae defense. This solution, is so .' 1 ngenioua oe! interesting that the band is repriated, together wuh the aokitioa. It is now up to the readers to analyse this solution and lee if there is any defense: ; 1 , Diamonds JO, 7,6, f Spade -r A, Q, 10 . . -:v -;.'" v -!.:.-.-;- Hearta ' V Hearts r-K, 7, 5, 4 , CIuIjs A,W,, $ ' Y -i Ouba K. 7,6,4 i - Diamonds A, K, Q, J tA- , Bj D'utmonda -r-9, S,:2 " ..'

A bid one no trump. Y -bid two spades and B bid three diamonds. dia-monds. Z bid three spades, A bid (our diamonds, Y bid four apadr. B aad Z - pasted. A doubled, all passed and A opened the king of diamonds. How should Z plan the play of the hands? Sluium: "I believe the hand can nuke four and game by the declarer trumping the first diamond lead and then leading a small club. If second hand passes, play the nine of chibs in ' the dummy, the trick being taken by - the king in the fourth hand. (It makes no difference if second band takes with the ace). Presume the fourth hand then leads a diamond which is trumped , by declarer, who make another small club lead which is taken by the ace in the second hajsd. Then a third diamond lead which k trumped again. Declarer then leads a trump which trick b woe in the dummy by the ten spot Dummy then leads the jack of hearts and then the ten of hearts which is tramped by the second hand. Presume this hand to . then lead the fourth diamond which is trumped by declarer who then leads the king of spades, overtdkes in the - dummy, exhausts trumps, and plays hearts and finally the good enieen of . .dubs. Defense baa three trkis, two cluba and one trumped heart. How about it?" One of the interesting phases of ; Auction that appeals to most phjyers is a comparison of one's own pime with that Of players of other sections or countries. A tourneraoot has tut been 'conducted in England in which the . following; hands were submitted for t' cntapetiuon. Figure out th correct bid ta each instance and compare your results with the analyses sad the . . awards of the Judge ta the English competition that will be give in th next article. Such comparison should be most interesting. 2 ia always the dealer aad the other players tit around the Ul4 as follow: ..' ' .. "t T t ,'. iA Bi -' t Z t ' J.
