Sensational avoidance play helps defense gain contract
The article describes a bridge problem where South must overcome a king of clubs in East to make five hearts against a diamond opening. It outlines an avoidance variation: West wins the first diamond, South ducks to dummy, South ruffs in his hand, trumps split the next two tricks, and South preserves a low trump to reach dummy. A later finesse of clubs and a clever endgame lead to success. A Dean’s List notice for Jon Frederick Kreissig is also included.
