WIN AT BRIDGE End Play Foils Easts Strategy
Bea Gale Schenken, a prominent bridge player, has won many women and mixed events and recently placed third in a board-a-match event after stepping in as partner when Peter Leventritt’s mother died. The piece notes her preference for rubber bridge, her family’s bridge prominence, and a missed opportunity where a different opening play could have wrapped up the contract.

Bea Wins Unusual End Play In Diamonds Hand
Bridge note describes Bea ducking at clubs eight and then exploiting an unusual end play to force East with his last club. Bea safely cashes hearts and spades, leaves East with diamonds and uses dummy’s ace to seal, after which East holds three diamonds. The bidding sequence shows South holding a strong hand and the suggested reply is to bid four clubs.
