McKenney on Bridge Highlights Poor Bidding Errors
In a recent team of four match, both North South pairs made poor bids on today’s hand and reached unsound contracts. The lesson is to capitalize on opponents mistakes and avoid overreaching.
Card game duel ends with defense missing setting trick
In a bridge contest one defender rose to the occasion and profited while the other slipped, giving South a successful contract. Dununy's ace opened with a diamond lead and, after a sequence of ruffs, finesses, and discards, South secured the contract and the heart finesse produced the final setting trick by West.
