Study it for a few moments and if you flop—well, your chance for the Presidency, under a Technocracy administration, is not very good. fo r an a K 1042 8 KJ109 64 >1072 mA THE BIDDING Cees With East-West, North-South vulnerable and not, it seems that the penalty for the practically certain defeat of the Heart contract, would not be adequate to pay for the loss of game and rubber, that appears more than a fair chance for the Declarant. If West were gracious enough to open a Heart, game would be just too easy, but against perfect defens —or any defense for that matter— the game can be made by correct play. 22 seed envelopes for reply West's opening lead was the Ace of Clubs, upon which East. played the King, so the status of the Club suit was an open secret to all. The second lead was a trump and from this point the only problem for the Declarant was to figure out how to prevent losing two more Club tricks and one in Hearts. FORE reading my _ explanation, the student will do well to study the lucid and simple drawing on the front cover of this issue. My good friend, the eminent technologist, Dr. Seuss, whose ability as a Bridge pl. is the despair of his fellow artists, has done me the honor to demonstrate the exact procedure essential for the culmina- tion of our objective. Just a few words will explain the Doctor's artistry. At the third trick, the opposing trumps are drawn and then thre rounds of Diamonds will leave West with nothing but his long string of Hearts. Dummy will be in the lead with the Ace of Diamonds, but a Heart finesse must be refused. The Ace of Hearts, followed by the Queen, places the lead with West, who must necessarily continue on with the suit. North follows, but South, having only three trumps left, must refuse to trump, and discards a Club. On the next round of Hearts dummy will trump and now South gets rid of his last Club, losing only three tricks—two Hearts and one Club—and fulfilling the contract. The play of this deal is marked, as West cannot hold another Club, when he does not continu the suit after his partne strong nal. If, how- ever, by some unforeseen chance, West had held a second Club, no loss would have occurred through South’s choice of play, because the two Club tricks were certain losers—as clearly shown by Dr. Seuss’ superb illustra- tion. comicbooks.com
