Take Time Out
When Playing Slam
By ALFRED SHElNWOLD

Good bridge habits will save
you a lot Of time and trouble,
but it's possible to have too
much Of a good thing. When
ever you're playing an impor-
tant contract, check your habits
by giving each play a second
thought.

go All Pass
Opening lead: Spade 10.
East won the first trick with
the ace of spades and returned
a spade to South's king. De-
clarer promptly led out the
king of hearts, and the slam
just as promptly went ker-
flooey. East was sure to get a
trump trick.
Nobody can blame South for
playing the first two tricks
quickly. After all, he was just
following suit. But nobody
forced him to barge ahead with
the trumps before he had
thought about the hand.
Only Danger
The only danger to the slam
was a SO trump break. It
would take South about two
seconds to absorb that fact.
If West had five trumps,
nothing could be done about it.
If East had five trumps, how
ever. the situation could be
handled. <Declarer Just had to
lead a low trump twice through
East.
This could be done only If
dummy's two low trumps were
reserved for this purpose. South
couldn't afford to waste one of
dummy's low trumps on his
own king.
The correct play is to start the
trumps by leading to dummy's
queen. When the bad break
shows up. a trump is returned
from dummy through East.
When East puts up the nine,
South wins with the jack.
South returns to dummy with
the ace Of clubs to lead another
trump through East, and the
slam is assured.
Daily Question

Answer: Bid three hearts.
Agree on the suit first and
show aces and other controls

slam eventually. but there is
no need to rush matters.
