Counting losers can save a contract

BRIDGE by PHILLIP ALDER

William Lyon Phelps, an author and public speaker who died in 1943, said, “If at first you don’t succeed, find out if the loser gets any-thing.”

In all bridge contracts, as long as declarer does not lose more tricks than he can af-ford, he will get something -- at the least, a plus score. But success for declarer often depends on the careful han-dling of losers. In this deal, for example, South was in four spades. West led a low diamond. East won with his king and shifted to the club two. What should declarer have done now?

The auction might have fol-lowed several paths. West’s negative double brought hearts into the picture. Then North, with only six losers (three spades, one heart, one diamond and one club), a diamond ruffing value, and a club suit to provide winners, took a shot at four spades.

Even the bartender knew that East had shifted to a singleton club. The original declarer won trick two in his hand and played two rounds of spades, trying to avoid

East’s gaining a club ruff.

Here, though, East won with

his spade queen and switched

to a low heart. Then South

had to lose two spades, one

heart and one diamond.

Stopping the club ruff was

a mirage. Declarer should

have won trick two on the

board and taken a spade fi-

nesse. Here it would have

won, and South, after cash-

ing the spade ace, could have

claimed an overtrick.

Now suppose that the

spade finesse lost. Yes, East

would have gained a club

ruff and shifted to a heart,

but declarer could have won

with dummy’s ace, drawn the

missing trump, and run the

clubs for his contract.
