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. © 2016 UFS, Dist. by Universal Uclick for UFS Auctions 550 SILENT AUCTION 3 BEDROOM HOUSE ALL SEALED BIDS TURNED IN BY SEPTEMBER 7, 2016 BY 12:00 PM Minimum Bid - $63,500 Dimensions Framing Exterior Interior Doors Master Suite Great Room Electrical Example of Construction Tech House 2013-2014 www.abilene-rc.com Tuesday, August 30, 2016 5 Place an ad online 24 hours a day • Walk-ins: Mon-Fri 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. • Call 785.263.1000 CLASSIFIED MARKETPLACE T HE R EFLECTOR -C HRONICLE Abilene | T HE D AILY U NION Junction City | 1 ST I NFANTRY D IVISION Post Fort Riley Place one today and you’ll be rid of whatever you’re wanting to sell in the morning!!!
