Goren on Bridge 1959 Quiz Insights from Chicago Tribune

In this bridge quiz from 1959 the expert offers responses to three hands. Each scenario analyzes optimal bidding strategies and explains why certain bids win or fail, highlighting how to judge partner support and hand strength in spade and heart contracts.

Bridge hand analysis with five clubs as conclusion

The text outlines a bridge bidding problem in which with 44AK10491086542 A5 and a 1y Pass 2& Pass 29 Pass 3% Pass 3a Pass 46 Pass sequence, the conclusion is Five clubs. It notes that partner lacks outstanding strength but can be trusted for a seven card suit and advises not to be deterred by weakness in hearts as partner is marked with at most a singleton. It suggests that with two of the suit he should have returned to hearts after the three spade bid.

Bridge hand analysis on pass and 11 points case

A bridge discussion notes that with 11 points and a pass after South holds 4A43 VAK62 66424853 Pass Pass 1¢ Pass, the old style player would worry at a three honor trick sequence. It argues no heart bid should force game when partner has one heart.

Bridge decision puzzle given hand and bids

You hold a 5 3 3 2 shape with balanced values in all suits and the auction shows no clear trump. With four passes and a 3NT contract at risk, aim to play for a hand that maximizes trick chances in no trump, likely choosing to play for a long and safe distribution rather than overruffing.

Double Pass A Bid in a Fourheart? South Opens

With 4AJ10 Y K97642 and 4AK83, South is vulnerable and holds a rich defensive hand. The quoted reasoning says despite a low level double being risky when void in the adverse suit, the hand has enough defensive values to justify the opening bid. It is plausible that partner is short in hearts when choosing to double a nonvulnerable opponent.
