BARCLAY ON BRIDGE By Shepard Barclay "Hie Authority on Authorities" KATE LIKE HONORS SOME PLAYERS are known to je so weak on the defensive that their habitual conquerors have what amounts almost to a mathematical way to rale them. For in- 9tar.ce, if one of them happens to at the right or left, the prospective declarer sometimes counts tols own hand as if it were a king stronger, in the case of an indifferent player, and an ace stronger If the opponent is known to be particularly weak.

As a conse- luence, he bids higher than he wfoulci think of doing against opponents can be depended upon usually to take every posst- Me trick against him. 10 8 4 3 If 7 3 0 2 4. 10 8 7-3 10 9 8 6 4 2 West Pass 4 AS 7 62 If 10 8 5 4 A 1 (Dealer: North. North-South vulnerable.) North East South Pass 14 1 NT Pass 3 4 Pass 6 Of course a bit sounder bidding here would have been with North choosing- hearts for his opening bid, because his shortest suit and the most likely response of his partner was spades. But that is not the point here.

The main thing is that South had no justification really for his Jump Into 6-Hearts when lie had already forced the bidding so strongly, except that he was confident he could outplay his counting- on some kind of mistake from them. Tjlntrlhuted by West led the diamond 6 to the K. The club was sent to Slast's and diamond A took the return. The heart A was taken, the club A and furnished discards "of a diamond and a spade, the heart 10 was finessed, the spade and A'won and the heart laid down to drop the Q. West had to discard on this.

He picked a spade, which made success for South possible. He ruffed a spade then, taking- "out West's last one, returned to his hand with a diamond ruff and cashed the spade for the winning trick. A better man in the West would have read South as holding five spades originally because East had played the and on the two top honors. Consequently he would have held on to his spade 10 and discarded hisYdiamond instead on the tenth trick. That would have beaten South.

His only chance for contract, as he played the hand, was to find the spades split 3-3 or have the holder of four make this very mistake.
