Bridge puzzles highlight high card strength and defense
A hand from Sheinwold's Bridge Puzzles 6 illustrates why high low cards matter. South's nine of spades preserves trumps, avoiding a finesse and risking no extra tricks if West leads back. The article notes duplicate bridge sessions at the community center with last week’s winners Fran and Clyde Dewey, Armand Walewyk, Bill Chapman, Madeline Rauch, Maurice Jacobs, and Dan George.
