JUST FOR NEW PLAYERS

Take all your chances at bridge

By Eddie Kantar

Dlr: South ♠ K 8 6 4 Vul: Both ♥ K 8 7 ♦ 9 8 ♣ K 10 3 2

♠ A Q 10 9 3 2 ♥ 6 3 2 ♦ K ♣ A Q 7

After you open 1♠, a simple limit raise sequence lands you in 4♠. West leads the ♦Q, East wins the ace and returns the suit. Plan the play.

After ruffing the diamond return and drawing trumps, you have a 100% play. Did you spot it? It illustrates a theme known as the “safety play finesse.”

Cash the ♣A and ♣Q and lead a low club towards dummy’s K-10. If West shows out, rise

with the king and play the ♣10, giving up the lead to East as you discard a heart. What can East do? If East leads a heart, the most you can lose is one heart trick. If East leads a diamond, giving you a ruff and discard, you know what to do. Discard a heart from your hand, the shorter heart hand, and ruff in dummy. With one heart remaining in your hand the most you can lose is one heart trick. You wind up losing a club, a diamond and a heart.

If West follows to the third club, stick in the 10. If it wins, discard a heart on the ♣K and lead up to the ♥K for an overtrick. If the finesse loses to the J-x-x with East, East is faced with a choice of evils, leading a heart up to dummy’s king or giving you a trick-costing ruff and discard. Keep in mind you still have the ♣K in dummy for a heart discard. You

can’t lose this contract regardless of who has the ♣J as long as you take a safety-play finesse.

It should be noted that the best play in clubs for four tricks without a count on the suit is to play three top clubs and hope the jack drops. On a good day, you can save a two-way suit like this until the bitter end. By that time you might have a count on the suit and discover that West started with four clubs, and finesse the 10 after cashing the A-Q. The full deal: ♠ K 8 6 4 ♥ K 8 7 ♦ 9 8 ♣ K 10 3 2 ♠ 5 ♠ J 7 ♥ Q 10 9 5 ♥ A J 4 ♦ Q J 10 4 ♦ A 7 6 5 3 2 ♣ J 9 6 4 ♣ 8 5 ♠ A Q 10 9 3 2 ♥ 6 3 2 ♦ K ♣ A Q 7

For this tournament, the anecdotes you’re used to seeing at the beginning of the column are replaced by a Quick Tip at the end. Enjoy.

Team gamesBy Brent Manley

In yesterday’s column, the focus was on pairs games – just you and your partner against the field. If you wish to branch out to team games, another form of duplicate, you need at least two more players.

There are two main formats for team games – Swiss teams and knockouts. The scoring is the same in both, but they are played in different ways.

Both formats require at least four players per team: one North-South pair, one East-West pair. A team can be made up of six players, one pair sitting out each round.

In a Swiss teams, each team is assigned a number. A chart behind the directors’ table indicates the home table for that team for the first round. To get the game started, your team’s East-West go to the corresponding table number in a different section. North-South stay at the home table. East-West from the other table play against your teammates.

Caddies take the boards back and forth between the two tables so that all boards (usually six to eight) are played. At that point, East-West return to the home table for comparisons.

Scoring is in International Matchpoints – IMPs for short. The IMP scale can be found on the inside of the ACBL convention card. Here’s how it works:

Say you and partner bid a non-vulnerable 4♠ and make it on the nose for plus 420. When you compare with your teammates after all the boards have been played, you find that they defeated 4♠ by one trick for plus 50. Plus 420 for you and plus 50 for your teammates means a net plus of 470. Looking at the IMP scale, you can see that plus 470 means 10 IMPs for your side.

When you have finished all comparisons, you add up the plus IMPs on your card and subtract the minus IMPs to get the final score. If your team wins, your captain will visit the other team’s home table to make sure there is agreement on the margin. The

results will be reported to the tournament director taking the scores. The score will be entered into the computer so that the IMPs can be converted to victory points, the scale for which is located to the left of the IMP scale inside your convention card.

Your next opponents will be a team with a VP total the same as or close to yours as determined by the computer software. The process will be repeated throughout the event.

In a knockout, scoring is by IMPs, but victory points are not involved. Nowadays most KOs are bracketed according to the masterpoint holdings of the teams involved. Total masterpoints for the top team in the top bracket might easily exceed 200,000.

The I/N schedule at this tournament does not include KOs, but there are plenty of opportunities for less-experienced players in the bracketed regional knockouts. Check the schedule in the Daily Bulletin.

Brackets are usually made up of 16 teams, which makes for a four-session event covering two days. Teams play 12 boards, take a break, then play 12 more. The winners move on, the losers are knocked out.

The compact KO is designed to determine a winner in just one day of play. Matches are shorter

so that two can be played in one session and a winner can be determined in a 16-team event in one day. At some tournaments, organizers offer a Handicap KO, in which less-experienced teams start play with a certain number of IMPs based mostly on masterpoint holdings.

Quick TipOne of my favorite Eddie Kantar quotes is

about leading singletons. He says some players like leading singletons so much they do it even when they don’t have any trumps. There’s another occasion when you might consider leading something else: It’s when you have length in declarer’s trump suit. Think about it. If you have strength in declarer’s trump suit, you already have likely tricks in that suit. If you lead a singleton and get a ruff, you are using trick you were going to take anyway. It’s far better to try to weaken declarer’s trump holding by forcing him to ruff. You might later be able to use some of the trumps in your hand to pick up some of declarer’s cards in that suit. If you have a strong sequence such as K-Q-J-x-x, lead that suit. If not, lead from an honor and hope partner can provide a face card or two in that suit. Every ruff you force declarer to take makes your trump holding look even bigger.

Handle with careBy Barry Rigal

Dlr: North ♠ A J 7 4 Vul: E-W ♥ K Q 9 5 ♦ J 10 7 4 ♣ 8 ♠ K 10 2 ♠ Q 8 6 5 ♥ A 8 7 2 ♥ 10 ♦ K 6 2 ♦ A Q 9 5 ♣ Q 3 2 ♣ A J 9 4 ♠ 9 3 ♥ J 6 4 3 ♦ 8 3 ♣ K 10 7 6 5 West North East South 1♦ Pass Pass 1NT (1) Pass ?

(1) 10-15 HCPWith the balancing 1NT range of 10 to a bad 15,

it’s not easy to bid the East hand intelligently. This is a good sequence to play 2♣ as a shape and range relay: responses are 2♦ (10-12 without a four-card major), 2♥, 2♠ or 2NT as a good 12 to a bad 14, natural) and three-level bids showing four-card suits up the line and 14-15. This method has a name: Rigal.

So Glenn Milgrim relayed with 2♣, and when South doubled I could not arrange to play that contract doubled, so I bid 2♦, showing a minimum and a club stopper. Glenn bid 2♠, followed by three passes.

South led a diamond, taken in dummy with the king. At trick two, Glenn led a spade to his queen and a spade to the 9, 10 and North’s jack. Back came a top heart. Milgrim won and led a diamond to the jack and queen, a club to the queen and a diamond to the 9, followed by the ♦A for a club pitch from dummy. He had reached this ending:

♠ A 7 ♥ Q 9 5 ♦ — ♣ — ♠ K ♠ 8 6 ♥ 8 7 2 ♥ — ♦ — ♦ — ♣ 3 ♣ A J 9 ♠ — ♥ J 6 ♦ — ♣ K 10 7If Glenn leads the ♣A, North ruffs to cash the

trump ace and declarer gets just one trick.The play of the ♣J put the defenders in a

dilemma. If South wins the ♣K and returns a club, North gets his two trumps but declarer has the rest. If South ducks the ♣J and North ruffs to play the ♠A, East gets a club and a spade. Plus 140 was good for nearly all the matchpoints.

Mini-Spingolds I and II (I for players with 0-5000 masterpoints, II for players with 0-1500 masterpoints) will begin play today.

The Mini-Spingolds will run concurrently with the Spingold Knockout Teams and continue for not more than five days. The length of a match will be similar to the length of regional knockout events. Screens may be used as appropriate in later rounds.

Steve Zolotow, Anam Tebha, Sean Gannon, Oren Kriegel and Christian Jolly won the 0–5000 Mini-Spingold in 2015.

Your best shotBy Barry Rigal

Dlr: East ♠ A 8 Vul: N-S ♥ A 10 9 5 2 ♦ 10 8 ♣ K 8 4 2 ♠ K J 6 4 ♠ 10 9 7 ♥ Q 8 4 ♥ J 7 6 ♦ A 7 6 ♦ 5 4 2 ♣ A 9 7 ♣ J 6 5 3 ♠ Q 5 3 2 ♥ K 3 ♦ K Q J 9 3 ♣ Q 10

With the sight of all four hands, you’d surely want to play 3NT by South, but in these days of inflation, the North hand is hardly worth a game try facing a hand that can’t open a 14-16 1NT. Of course, some people did open the South hand 1NT (strong). That said, at our table North-South settled for a partscore.

While North struggled to nine tricks in 2♥ on a spade lead, 3♦ by South looks set to make plus 130 or 150 thanks to the 3-3 breaks in the red suits.

You win the low trump lead with dummy’s 8, ruff out the hearts and play the ♦9. West can try to keep you from two overtricks now. He rises with the ♦A and plays the ♠K, the Merrimac Coup aimed at dislodging dummy’s entry.

You win the ♠A, ruff a heart winner to hand, draw the last trumps and lead a club toward dummy’s king. That lets you come to a tenth trick . . . maybe not enough but at least you will have done your best.

This deal from the second qualifying session of the von Zedtwitz Life Master Pairs presents a nice example of suit preference at trick one. After North leads the ♥A, South can signal for a club shift by following with a low heart.

At our table, South did indeed do so. North missed the point and led another heart.

Declarer pitched dummy’s fourth club, played the ♠A and ♠K to find South with a trump trick, then took four rounds of diamonds. South discarded in a valiant attempt to avoid the endplay, but was thrown in with a trump to concede the 11th trick.

The Wagar Women’s Knockout Teams gets underway today. Formerly contested for the Coffin Trophy, the event – despite format and name changes – is the longest running women’s team event on the ACBL calendar.

Margaret Wagar (1902–1990), inducted into the ACBL Bridge Hall of Fame in 1999, became Life Master #37 in 1943, the fifth woman to earn the rank. She and Kay Rhodes share one of the most remarkable achievements in ACBL history – they won the Women’s Pairs four consecutive years: 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1958.

Wagar and Rhodes share another record – one of frustration. They were second in the Women’s Teams for seven consecutive years, 1952–1958.

Wagar’s impressive record spans three decades and includes wins in women’s and open competition. Her open wins include the Reisinger in 1941, the Open Pairs (the forerunner of the Blue Ribbon Pairs) in 1947 and 1948 and the Spingold in 1946 and 1948.

Wagar served on the ACBL Board of Directors from 1960 to 1972 and was named ACBL Honorary Member in 1979. She was non-playing captain of the U.S. World Women’s Teams in 1968 and 1972.

The Spingold Master Knockout Teams was originally known as the Masters Teams-of-Four, and it was first contested in September 1934 as a separate event held in conjunction with the Masters Individual. Although not played in 1935, it was again contested with the Masters Individual in 1936 and 1937. In 1938, the event became known as the Spingold Master Knockout Teams and was included in the summer schedule.

At one time the Spingold was a double elimination event scored by total points, usually lasting nine or ten sessions, restricted to players of Senior Master rank (100 or more masterpoints) and higher. Beginning in 1958, all matches were scored by IMPs (international matchpoints). In 1965, the double elimination method was replaced by three qualifying sessions (subsequently reduced to two), followed by single elimination knockout matches. The preliminary qualifying sessions were dropped in 1970.

The Spingold Trophy, donated by Nathan B. Spingold in 1934, is among the ACBL’s most highly prized team trophies. Also in that category are the Vanderbilt Trophy, awarded to the winners of the Vanderbilt Knockout Teams at the Spring NABC, and the Reisinger Memorial Trophy, donated by the Greater New York Bridge Association in memory of Curt H. Reisinger and awarded to the winners of the Reisinger Board-a-Match Teams.

Spingold (1886–1958), a New York publicist, motion picture executive and patron of the arts, was one of the most influential men in bridge administration from 1937 to 1943.

Born in Chicago, he became a reporter on The Chicago Examiner, The Chicago Record Herald and The Chicago Tribune. Spingold’s interest in show business brought him to New York City in the 1930s.

In 1932 he joined Columbia Pictures in a public relations capacity. He was named to the board of directors in 1940 and three years later took charge of advertising, publicity and development. He became a vice president of the company in 1954.

Active in bridge from its earliest days, Spingold was named ABL Honorary Member in 1936. He was instrumental in effecting a peaceful merger between the American Bridge League and the United States Bridge Association in 1937 and became president of the newly formed American Contract Bridge League the following year.

He served for many years on the League’s Board of Governors and Board of Directors. Spingold was also president of the Cavendish Club in New York.

Sneaky does the trickOn this deal from the round of 32 in the 2016

Vanderbilt Knockout Teams at the Spring NABC in Reno, Robert Hollman, ACBL’s newest Grand Life Master, made a spectacular opening lead to help his team to victory. The deal was first reported by his partner, Bruce Ferguson, and written up for a Dutch bridge publication by Joris van Lankveld, one of Hollman’s teammates.

The deal came up in Hollman’s match against the No. 4 seed, captained by Mark Gordon. Dlr: South ♠ A K 8 7 5 Vul: N-S ♥ A K 10 9 3 2 ♦ — ♣ K 9 ♠ J 2 ♠ Q 10 9 4 3 ♥ Q J 6 4 ♥ 8 7 ♦ Q 7 6 2 ♦ J 10 9 4 ♣ J 6 2 ♣ 8 4 ♠ 6 ♥ 5 ♦ A K 8 5 3 ♣ A Q 10 7 5 3

At one table, Hollman and Ferguson opposed Gordon and Pratap Rajadhyaksha. West North East South Hollman Gordon Ferguson Pratap 1♣ Pass 1♥ Pass 2♣ Pass 2♠ Pass 3♦ Pass 3♠ Pass 3NT Pass 4♣ Pass 4♦ Pass 5NT Pass 7♣ All Pass

Hollman deduced from the auction that North was surely 6-5 in the majors with a doubleton club honor. Hoping to disrupt communications, Hollman started with the sneaky ♠2 from his doubleton jack.

Pratap went up with the ace and ruffed a spade to hand. He played a low diamond at trick three, ruffing with dummy’s ♣9. Apparently not suspicious about the appearance of Hollman’s ♠J on the second round of the suit, Pratap cashed the ♣K and tried to re-enter his hand with a spade ruff. When Hollman overruffed, the contract was down for plus 100 to Hollman.

At the other table, North-South reached the same grand slam, made with ease after a trump lead. Declarer played dummy’s 9, overtook with the 10, ruffed a diamond, cashed the ♠A and ruffed a spade. He had only to pull trumps and claim plus 2140 for a gain of 19 IMPs. Hollman won the match 126-96.

Getting it rightBy Barry Rigal

Dlr: West ♠ 8 4 Vul: N-S ♥ Q 2 ♦ 10 9 7 5 ♣ A Q J 5 4 ♠ K J 9 7 6 ♠ 3 2 ♥ 4 3 ♥ K J 9 7 6 ♦ 8 6 4 ♦ Q J 3 2 ♣ K 10 6 ♣ 8 2 ♠ A Q 10 5 ♥ A 10 8 5 ♦ A K ♣ 9 7 3 West North East South 2♠ Pass Pass 2NT Pass 3NT All Pass

On this deal (hands rotated) from the second semifinal session of the von Zedtwitz Life Master Pairs, West starts well by leading the ♥4 to the 2, jack and ace. A club finesse, diamond to the king, another club finesse and two more rounds of the suit result in this end position: ♠ 8 4 ♥ Q ♦ 10 9 7 ♣ 4 ♠ K J 9 7 ♠ 3 2 ♥ 3 ♥ K 9 7 ♦ 8 6 ♦ Q J ♣ — ♣ — ♠ A Q 10 ♥ 10 8 5 ♦ A ♣ —

As the last club is led, East looks to be able to afford a spade discard, but if he does, declarer might well get the play right.

Declarer pitches a spade from hand, plays a diamond to his ace, then cashes the ♠A and exits in hearts. East can win and cash his diamond winner but must then lead a heart from the 9-7 into declarer’s 10-8 for 11 tricks to North-South.

If East pitches a diamond, declarer discards a heart from his hand, then leads a diamond to hand, setting up two diamond winners in dummy. When declarer exits with a heart to the queen and king, East gets out with a spade. Declarer puts in the 10 and West, upon winning the jack, must lead a spade into declarer’s tenace or a diamond to the good 10-9 in dummy. Either way, it’s 11 tricks for North-South.

Location: Virginia A Room

A Salute to the U.S. MilitaryTomorrow, the NABC host committee in DC

will honor the service of those who have given time from their lives for the United States military. The ceremony will begin with patriotic music and song at noon in the main lobby of the Marriott. There will be a formal posting of the colors at 12:30 p.m. by the U.S. Army Color Guard, immediately followed by the U.S. National Anthem. Colors will be retired and patriotic music and song will continue until 1 p.m. Don’t miss what promises to be a heartfelt display honoring the U.S. Armed Forces.

The pianist for this occasion is Carlos Cesar Rodriguez. A musician of brilliance and versatility, he is a virtuoso pianist who made his recital debut at age 5, his orchestral debut as a soloist at 11, and at 21 made his Carnegie Hall Weil Recital Hall debut in New York City. Rodriguez has also performed at the Kennedy Center, the White House, and the Steinway Series at the Smithsonian Institution, as well as many other venues. He is currently a member of the piano faculty at the Levine School of Music and guest artist and coach for the Domingo/Cafritz Young Artist Program with Washington National Opera.

Our patriotic songs will be performed by Peter Joshua Burroughs. Burroughs is a tenor who has performed with the Washington National Opera. He has sung with the Washington Concert Opera, Baltimore Symphony, Opera Tampa, and St. Petersburg Opera (FL). He appeared with Rodriguez at the Weil Recital Hall of Carnegie Hall in NYC in “Pasion por la zarauela” to critical acclaim.

Please join us at noon to show your honor and respect for the United States military.

Even the experts find the game too hard

By Barry Rigal

Bob Hamman once remarked that “the best play lousy, the rest play worse.” This deal, the last of our set from the second semifinal session of the von Zedtwitz Life Master Pairs, demonstrated that to the full. Dlr: East ♠ K 7 5 Vul: E-W ♥ J 10 8 ♦ Q 10 6 ♣ A K 8 4 ♠ A J 9 8 4 2 ♠ 6 3 ♥ A 5 3 ♥ 7 6 4 ♦ A 4 3 ♦ K J 9 7 ♣ 3 ♣ Q 10 7 6 ♠ Q 10 ♥ K Q 9 2 ♦ 8 5 2 ♣ J 9 5 2 West North East South Pass Pass 1♠ Pass 1NT Pass 2♠ All Pass

Like pretty much everyone else, I reached 2♠, North having sensibly remained silent throughout the auction. North started with the ♣A and South followed with the 9 (upside-down carding).

It is a sensible agreement that, when playing reverse signals, if dummy comes down with Q-x-x-(x) on a lead from the A-K, you signal as follows: low from a doubleton, top from three, second-highest from four. In this case, missing ♣J 9 5 3 2, North knows the 2 is from J-5-3-2, 9-5-3-2, 5-3-2, bottom of two or a singleton, and if declarer follows with the 3 or 2, the ambiguity is cleared up. If declarer plays the jack or 9, South must have three or four clubs.

If you see the jack, it must be from J-x-x, if the 9 it could be J-9, 9-x-x or J-9-x-x. Only the jack from declarer will clarify this for North.

North saw declarer follow with the ♣9 and dutifully shifted to the ♥J, ducked, and a second heart, overtaken by South and won by declarer with the ace.

Now came a successful finesse in diamonds and a spade to the 10 (yes, South should follow with the queen), jack and king. Now what?

Declarer is marked with six spades and three diamonds, followed twice to hearts and once to clubs. Is his remaining card a club or a heart?

North got it wrong, and I’m not sure whether he had any indication except that declarer might have won the first heart with a doubleton ace. When North tried to cash his other high club, declarer could ruff, draw trumps and discard his heart on the ♣Q.

Convention card reminderEach player is required to have a convention card

filled out legibly and on the table throughout a session. The convention card must include the first and last name of each member of the partnership, and the cards must be identical.

If a director determines that neither player has a substantially completed card, the partnership may play only the Standard American Yellow Card and may use only standard carding. This restriction may be lifted only at the beginning of a subsequent round after convention cards have been properly prepared and approved by the director. Further, the partnership will receive a 1/6-board matchpoint penalty for each board played, commencing with the next round and continuing until the restriction is lifted. In IMP team games, penalties shall be at the discretion of the director.

If the director determines the partnership has at least one substantially completed convention card but has not fully complied with ACBL regulations, the director may give warnings or assign such penalties as he deems to be appropriate under the circumstances.

The objective of these warnings and penalties is the encouragement of full compliance with ACBL regulations.

Use of the bidding box— Alerts and Announcements

When using bidding boxes, the ACBL requires that players tap the Alert strip and say “Alert” at the same time.

When making an Announcement, use the Announcement word (such as “transfer”) and tap the Alert strip at the same time. A player who Alerts or Announces a bid must make sure his opponents are aware that an Alert or Announcement has been made.

Today’s Bridge Events

KIG has named games that include “401K,” “Asset,” “Retirement,” “Planning,” Phil Krauss,

Mary Lee Krauss and Emma Beck.In Memoriam: Carolyn Lynch

and Mary Lee Krauss.“Some people read books. Some people take

walks. I play bridge.” – Carolyn Lynch.The bridge world lost one of the game’s great

supporters and a fierce competitor in Carolyn Lynch who passed away in October 2015. Carolyn was

a Grand Life Master, and bridge was her favorite pastime. She told the Boston Globe, “If you gave me a dish of ice cream or the ability to play bridge for an hour, I’d choose bridge very time – even though I love ice cream.” And, Rusty Krauss remembers: “Carolyn and I had some lovely chats about our shared experiences growing up in southern Delaware. The bridge world has lost a dear friend.”

In a more personal tribute, Rusty reminisces: “I lost my mother, Mary Lee Krauss, as a result of a fall

almost two years ago. I didn’t think it was possible to appreciate her more than I already did, but even now we are still discovering the little things that she did to make our family work. An example is my father, who is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. Mom provided tireless support that allowed Dad to be his true self and to enjoy a carefree life and loving home. I was once told that I represented an ideal amalgam of my parents; I could imagine no higher praise.”
