Luck and misfortune in a tricky bridge hand
In this problem play Alfred Sheinwold narrates a difficult bridge hand. South ruffs clubs, draws trumps, misreads the position, and relies on an improbable 2-2 trump split to make the contract. The tale notes how luck, not skill alone, dictates the outcome and what the defenders overlooked.
You Need Two Trumps To Ruff Two Losers
On spade lead and trump management, the hand discusses ruffing strategy and safety. With South holding A 9 3 spades and Q 9 6 diamonds and A 9 8 5 clubs, the plan involves drawing trumps, crossruff, and cashing key cards to evaluate for game. The recommended bid is two clubs, seeking a good club or diamond fit and possible game or slam in a minor.
