Bridge expert Jacoby warns players to avoid common, avoidable errors. Focus on counting cards and signaling. misplays often stem from haste or misread signals rather than technique.
In a recent England Scotland match, West opened ten diamonds and East won with king. East shifted to clubs, South won with ace, and declarer drew three trump rounds and attempted a heart finesse, losing to West king. The column warns players to reconsider the heart finesse and risks.
The excerpt analyzes a bridge endgame where declarer should not take the heart finesse immediately. South must lead a diamond to suppress the ace, then ruff with the last trump, cashing diamonds to discard dummy’s last club. This line yields one heart and two diamonds lost, none of the clubs, with the opponents’ club return. In a separate note, neglected Montgomery County swimming pool plans face a July 5 zoning hearing, with a 2.5 acre minimum for pools, and Robert W. Farmer appointed to the Appeal Tax Court.
