Playing problem from a recent game, two opponents have piled up canasta points with large wild card usage. The hand shows a and deuce held by the player, with queens and jacks exposed, and the question asks the best meld approach to maximize points while managing wild cards.
Readers debate melds and discards in Canasta with a detailed hand analysis. The exchange weighs freezing the pack versus melding picture cards and four spots, considering partner cards and opponent chances. Also notes baby contest winner Ronald Lee Covell of Baltimore and a brief remark on swans on the Thames shampooing feathers.
In a bridge hand the declarers win the opening lead with the ace of diamonds and return the queen of spades. West covers with the king, dummy wins with the ace of spades, and South aims to set the contract by returning a low trump to the jack. The optimal line centers on leading the ten of spades second, probing West’s king singleton, and using a sequence of discards and finesses to eventually force East’s nine and West’s six against East’s seven, with dummy re-entries via diamonds to place the final spade finesse.
In New York City during the Eastern Tournament the hand shown becomes a trap and a lesson. The declarer faces a shaky contract needing to avoid loss of a club and two hearts, testing play as South.
