Pass
Opening lead: Queen Of clubs.
That takeout doubles of one of q
suit should occasionally be left in
for profit is an idea that the aver
age player is quick to grasp. In fact,
1t is apparent in some quarters that
he is somewhat too quick to grasp
1t, for there Is tendency on the
part OF some to leave the double
in because they have no convenient
takeout. This lis highly improper.
When partner makes a takeout
double Of one in a suit his hand is
more or less unlimited and it Is de-
priving him of his franchise for you
to pass and let the opponent play
the one contract doubled Just be-
cause you are frightened. To put
it in another way, one must never
leave in the takeout double of one
of suit because he is scared,
though he may do so If he Is ava
ricious.
A distinction is to be noted be-
tween doubles Of one of a suit and
doubles of one no trump. As a gen.
eral proposition, severe damage will
not be inflicted upon the suit bid
der at this low level because the
power of the ruff will permit him to
take trick or two with low cards.
But at no trump, where the bidder
is subject to attack from all four
directions, heavy penalties can be
inflicted even at the low level Of
the opening bid, which leads us to
this general conclusion:
Doubles of one no trump should
be- left in unless your hand cannot
possibly stand it; in which case
you should bid your long suit. The
arithmetic is simple. The player
who makes an immediate double of
one no trump should have hand
at least as good as the opening
bidder. Let us assume that each has
three and one-half tricks. If you
have one the deck Is accounted for
and the dummy will be absolutely
trickless, which will make it very
little fun for declarer to play the
hand.
An extreme case is recorded today
to illustrate this principle, one of
the bloodiest cases ever to come to
my attention at this range. East's
no-trump opening, based upon a
holding of four plus honor tricks,
or a point count of 18, was surely
above reproach and South's double
was sound. North, having more than
a trick, decided to leave the double
in and South made the inspired lead
of the queen of clubs. He eschewed
the heart suit for fear Of leading
into a major tenace in declarer's
hand.
Declarer won with the king and
started on his long suit by playing
the ace and another diamond. South
won and continued with the club
jack. Declarer held off until the
third round and cleared the dia-
monds. But he was unable to make
any more tricks. The clubs and
hearts and the ace of spades gave
the balance to the defense for net
loss of 1,100 points.
East, to be sure, was an innocent
victim, but this does not deprive
North and South of the credit for
gathering rosebuds while the gath
ering was good.
