Endgame in Bridge Failures Teach Caution at Banken
In a Chicago Tribune 1958 bridge discussion, West leads diamonds against a three no trump contract. Declarer wins, clubs are played, and East refuses the first two clubs. West eventually sees nine tricks via hearts, clubs, and diamonds, but proper defense by East prevents the contract. The lesson: stop pouring money into a bank about to close.
