Dear Member •

To follow someone like Reg Corwen alter his 26 year of dedicated ervice to the En&lisb Brid e Union would n ver be e y. I t i , how­ever, a considerable challenge to do o now wh n the Union ha recently opened the Thame OfTtce and i embarkin on a more comple cour e at a time of rampant inftation. I hope that I may be able to meet the challenge.

I have for a long time b en ad ocating the team rather than the individual in matters of election and I hall be true to t.hi point of

view in the management of the Engli h Bridge Union.

I think that we have an excellent team in Maurice Blank, Harry Scully, Stuart and Ann

taveley and Harold Franklin in addition to a Board of Director well balanced between long experience nd n w ide .

I think that, perhaps due to th r t growth of competitions. an official pr ence h metime been l eking at some of our main event . I plan to chan e that with the help of my colleague .

I feel that metirn complaints or misunderstandings could have been ob iat d if only we, the Executi e. h d b en able to communlcate not only our d c· ions but also the re on for th m. I want to make the " E tabU hment" more approachabl and if po ible to give you all an awaren of what is being don to make your enjoyment of the am n whatever level it is play d-&r t as ible.

I have n mu h ncoura d by the intere t which h been shown by many of you in making con tructi e ugg tions and critici m aim d at improving the ex· tin& or ni tion nd widening it ope. If you have u e tons of thi n tur , pie et in rouch with u .

Abo e all I want you ro think of the Engli h Bridg Union and its mana e-m nt and Council members no " them " and .. u " but a united body tri in for the common good of u 11. I do hope that this i what we can

achieve tog th r. J. G. FAULK R.

After eight round of bidding Belladonna and Garozzo arrived at a final contract ol Se en Club , played by the South hand. Kantar led the two of hearts and Belladonna played low from duJJl.ll'lY and ruffed in hand. Belladonna I d a lo trump at tric 2, desperately hoping to find the doubleton king on his left.

When the kin appeared and fell to duJJl.ll'lY'S ace Belladonna reconsidered th 'tuation. Fmt question : was this king really bare 1 Kantar could wetl ba e laid trap, plaYJn~r: the king from doubleton king, as hi king would be lo t anyway. But,

· play would be highly unusual, and Belladonna belie ed it unlilcely that hi opponent wou d do it ;

nting the pos biUty of uch a play, the principle of restricted choice applied ; if Kantar had a doubleton he might play the king, but he al o might play the mall club ; whereas if be had the bare king he ju t had to play it;

- finally there is an old French saying whlch translated y " the club king · always bare or off Ide", and thi w no exception to the rule.

Thus Betladonna decided to take th king at face value, that i , bare. A player of Belladonna' calibre was able to see quickly that if E t had four clubs, all he needed to make his contract was for East to follow to three rounds of d and two rounds of diamonds.

He discarded diamond on the ce of hearts, ruffed a h art in hand, played three rounct of p d and ruffed a further heart. Two top diamond and a further heart ruff left this ending :

Two of the four competitors bid Two Spades. Since that bid will initially be trated as a request for a pade guard in order to play No-Trumps, there i the incon enience of having lo t a certain amount of bidding space when one bqins to show one's real purpose.

Schapiro, in what he described hi "old-fa hioned tyle " , bid Three Diamonds. After his partner' rebid of Three Hearts he now cue-bid Three Spades and was better placed th n tho e who had bid Two Spades and had to bcain to describe their hand after partner' rebid of Three Spade .

W leads the two of diamonds (fourth best) and declarer plays low from dUJDJII,)'. Plan the defence as East.

W can be judged to have led from a four card suit headed by an honour. Can you ee which honour 1 The answer is of course the ace, since declarer would ha e pl~d the queen from dummy had his own holding been Ax x •

If West h the ace of diamond declarer can have at mo t two points in pad , three points in hearts, and one point in diamonds, which means that he

is clearly marked with the top club honours. ow can you plan the defence 1 East can probably establish three diamond triclr.s either by playing the ten

to the first trick or by winning with the Jr.ing and returning a low diamond to ensure that his partner continue the suit. Declarer is then likely to develop three heart tricks to go with four clubs, one diamond and the ace of spades.

In order to defeat the contract Ea t mu t plan to make one pade trick and develop three diamond tricks before he comes in with the king of hearts. He does tb' by winnin the first trick with the ace of diamonds and returning the ei&ht of diamonds, a card which will how no further interest in the suit and will encourage W t to win nd malc.e the obviou switch to a spade. Thi was the complete deal :
