Audrey Grant...

When to Lead Trumps as Defender (1)by Audrey Grant

A well-known maxim when we are defending against asuit contract is “when in doubt, lead trump.” This iseasy advice to follow since we are often in doubt aboutwhat to lead before we have seen the dummy. However,we would be hard pressed to find an expert who wouldagree with the above maxim. A sounder suggestionwould be: Let’s see why.

The Advantages of Leading a Trump

The trump suit is a powerful tool for declarer. Declarercan use it to trump losers in the dummy, to establish along suit by trumping, to provide entries back and forthbetween the two hands, and to prevent the defendersfrom taking tricks. It makes some sense, therefore, forthe defenders to try to reduce the number of trumpsdeclarer holds in the combined hands. It is doubtfulthat the defenders can remove all declarer’s trumps byleading them. It’s usually declarer’s long suit.

Nevertheless, the defenders may be able to removesome or all of dummy’s trumps, especially if dummy hasthree or fewer trumps. This may prevent declarer fromruffing losers in dummy. Also, leading a trump from twoor three low cards in the suit is unlikely to cost a trickin that suit. Declarer will usually have at least eight ornine trumps between the combined hands and wouldbe able to take a finesse if missing the king or queen.

Leading another suit could be risky. We might lead awayfrom a king right into declarer’s ace-queen. All this makesthe lead of a trump sound rather attractive.Unfortunately, there’s a big downside.

The Disadvantages of Leading a Trump

In a suit contract, declarer’s priority is often to drawtrumps before the defenders can use them to ruffdeclarer’s winners. By leading trump, we are helpingdeclarer accomplish this task. The trump suit is usuallydeclarer’s longest and strongest suit. Why should welead declarer’s best suit instead of our best suit?

Having the opening lead is a big advantage. On manydeals, it is a race to see which side can develop andtake its winners first. If we have sure tricks to take, wemight have to get them right away before declarer candiscard losers in the suit. If we have to promote winners,we want to get started before declarer can establishenough tricks to make the contract. It may also beimportant to lead a suit from our side of the table - totrap a king or queen in dummy, for example.

So, we only want to lead a trump when the advantagesoutweigh the disadvantages. How can we know whenthis is the case? Since we can’t see the dummy untilafter the opening lead, we’ll have to get our clues fromthe auction. Here are three situations where a trumplead might work out well.

1) If the Auction Suggests Dummy is Short in a Suit2) If the Opponents Are Overbidding (Sacrificing)3) If Partner Passes a Low Level Takeout Double.

We’ll look at each of these in the following days.

1) If the Auction Suggests Dummy is Short in aSuit

[ K J 10 8] 10 9 7{ A 9 2} A 7 3

Suppose we are West, on lead with this hand againsttwo clubs after this auction:

West North East South— — — 1[Pass 1NT Pass 2}Pass Pass Pass

We can’t see dummy, but we can imagine what it mightlook like. North didn’t support spades and passedSouth’s second suit, clubs. So North has at most oneor two spades and has at least three or four clubs.Looking at our good spades, we know declarer will havesome losers in that suit. What will declarer likely wantto do about the spade losers? Trump them in dummy!

To try to prevent that, we can lead a trump. Whichtrump should we lead? We could lead the ace and asecond round of clubs. That gets rid of two of dummy’sclubs right away. A better choice, however, might be tolead a low club. An advantage of retaining the ace ofclubs is that, if seeing dummy reveals that leading trumpsis not the best defence, we may have an opportunity tochange tactics while we still have the ace of trumps.Also, if partner has a doubleton club and gains the lead,partner will have a club left to lead to our ace and wecan play a third round. Although we “don’t lead awayfrom aces” against suit contracts, this doesn’t apply inthe trump suit. Let’s see the full deal:

[ 3] K J 6 4 2{ Q 10 6} Q 9 5 2

[ K J 10 8 [ 6 5 2] 10 9 7 ] A Q 8 3{ A 9 2 { J 7 5 4} A 7 3 } 8 4

[ A Q 9 7 4] 5{ K 8 3} K J 10 6

Dummy is pretty much what we pictured: a singletonspade and four trumps. Declarer has four spade losersand would like to ruff some of them in the dummy.Our trump lead puts a dent in that plan. Declarer canwin the first club and play the ace of spades and ruff aspade in dummy, but then what? If declarer tries to getback to the South hand by leading a diamond to theking, we win and now play the ace and a third round ofclubs, removing the remaining trumps in dummy. Eventhough the fifth spade in declarer’s hand can eventuallybe established, declarer still has to lose two spades, aheart, two diamonds, and a club. Down one.

What if we’d made the ‘obvious’ lead of the ten ofhearts, top of the touching high cards in an unbid suit?East could win the first trick and switch to a trump,but it would be too late. We could play the ace and asecond club but declarer would get to ruff two spadelosers in dummy. Declarer could play the ace of spades,trump a spade in dummy, and get back to the Southhand by ruffing a heart to lead another spade and trumpit in dummy.

The advantage of leading a low club rather than the acecould be seen if declarer gave up a heart to East aftertrumping a spade in dummy. East would still have a clubleft to lead to our ace so that we could lead a thirdround of trumps.

(To be continued…)

Jim Linhart – A PersonalReminiscenceBy Joe Wakefield

Jim has been coming to our tournament for 25 years. Hebecame my regular partner in Bermuda and we had manyfirst-place finishes together, including two in theWedneday-Thursday Pairs.

One of Jim’s best qualities was that he was alwayscharming at the table and took pains to be the perfectgentleman. He was also the perfect partner, which isprobably the greatest compliment I think any bridge playercan give.

Over the years, he gave me many gifts, of which themost treasured is a pair of cufflinks worn by SamStayman. I am going to present them to our local Unit asa permanent memory of Jim, who passed away recently.I am going to miss him.

“Quo Fata Ferunt”Bermuda’s 400th Anniversary

by Dr. George Cook(...conclusion)

On 8 June, 1610, the little fleet of four small ships –Deliverance (Gates), Patience (Somers), Discovery, thesmallest of the original three Jamestown ships (Capt.George Percy) and Virginia (Capt. Robert Davis) – setsail. Next day, however, and as luck would have it, orGod deemed fit, they met the new supply of 3 ships and150 colonists – which had left England on 1 April,unbeknownst to anyone in Bermuda or Jamestown –under the command of the new Governor of Virginia,Thomas West, Baron De La Warr. Thus, the UnitedStates of America claims continual English habitation atJamestown since 14th May, 1607 – but for one day,unless one relies for continuity on those renegades livingwith the native people.

Under De La Warr’s presidency, the Council of Virginiamet on 12 June (with Gates, Somers, Newport, Percy,Sir Fernando Waynman and Strachey as Secretary) toconsider how some 350 people were to be fed anddefended. With sufficient basic staples (flour, peas,oatmeal, oil, biscuit, salt) now on hand, their diets neededmeat and fish. Somers offered, and was charged, to returnto Bermuda therefor. Patience, with Somers in commandand his nephew, Matthew, on board, and Discovery(Capt. Samuel Argall) left on 19 June but they weredriven north by storms. Argall fished off the Maine coastand returned to Jamestown. Somers, however, battled

on to Bermuda, arriving some time in July to find Carterand Waters thriving. Collecting and salting of pork andfish got under way, but Somers was weary and showingthe stress of his recent stormy voyages and his enormousresponsibilities. On 19 November he died, it was said,from a “surfeit of pig”. He was probably slowly decayingfrom hepatitis and was too weak to fight off foodpoisoning. Somers was 56 years old.

Looking ahead, Somers had instructed Matthew toreturn to Jamestown with the food and then to sail on toEngland and begin securing backing for a Bermudacolony. Matthew, however, chose to return to Englanddirectly, leaving behind Carter and Waters (the firstBermudians?) and also Edward Chard. In keeping withthe practices of the day, Somers was disemboweled sothat his preserved body could be returned to Lyme Regis.Patience arrived there on 1 June, 1611, and the funeraltook place on 4 June. Thus, Sir George Somers left hisheart – and his other entrails – in his beloved Bermuda,buried somewhere in what is now Somers Garden in St.George’s, and his body lies somewhere under the floorof St. Wita’s Church in Whitchurch Canonicorum,Dorset.

Back in Jamestown, Silvester Jourdain (of Lyme Regis)and William Strachey had meanwhile completed theiraccounts of the dramatic story of the Sea Venture,Bermuda and Virginia. Whether these arrived beforePatience is not known. What is highly likely is thatStrachey’s version (though suppressed by the VirginiaCompany until 1625, by which time Strachey’s hopedfor fame as Virginia’s chronicler was by-passed by JohnSmith’s General Historie of Virginia, New England andthe Summer Isles of 1624) influenced the playwright andVirginia Company “adventurer”, William Shakespeare,in his writing of The Tempest. Seemingly, he had beenshown Strachey’s 20,000-word letter by the unknown“excellent lady” (possibly Mary, Countess of Pembroke)to whom it had been addressed.

The play was performed for the first time on 1 November,1611, a timely moment in the interests of settling Bermuda.No longer represented as the “Isles of the Devils” or the“still-vexed Bermoothes”, these islands thereafterbecame a fabled paradise of abundance, an equableclimate, natural defences, and no hostile native people.They were waiting to be colonized and exploited.

Virginia Company secured a third charter enabling thecolonizing of “Virginiola”, but the cash-strapped companysold the interests for £2,000 to their fellow “adventurers”who proceeded to establish the “Somers Islands” (alsopunned as “Summer Islands”) under the name of theBermuda Company. On 11 July, 1612, Plough (Capt.Robert Davis), carrying 60 colonists and GovernorRichard Moore, was greeted in Bermuda by Carter,Waters and Chard. Bermuda has been in Britishpossession ever since.

Since those days, fate destined Bermuda to continue toplay a strategic and vital role in the history of what becamethe United States of America and in their relations withthe British Empire, through a revolutionary war ofindependence, a civil war, the two world wars and a“cold war”. That is another story and the occasion forother celebrations.

The story of the Sea Venture was absolutely critical tothe future of the English in North America. All previouscolonising efforts had met with disaster. Jamestown, too,faced disaster. The shipwreck, the Bermuda sojournand the saving of Jamestown from extinction wereinterpreted as God’s intercession. Thereafter, the Englishnever wavered: indeed, they believed they were carryingout God’s will. Since those days......other celebrations.

TEST YOUR SLAM PLAY

Slams should be the easiest contracts to play – after all,you are only allowed to lose one or no tricks – it shouldbe easier to plan that than, say, one no trump, wheremany options often present themselves. On the otherhand, so much more is at stake, especially in a teamgame, where the swing could be a dozen or more IMPs.

Both these deals were played recently in the WorldMind Sports Games in Beijing. You will see, even thebest players in the world can be pretty hopeless!

You are East, and you and partner conduct a verydubious auction to a seemingly no-play slam, that is,until South leads the heart king. Suppressing youramazement at the dummy (okay, Partner would beequally incredulous at your hand), you get down to thetask at hand – how to make 12 tricks. Can you do it?

Partner, being the persistent (some say stubborn)sort, continues with a third club to the ace and youdiscard a discouraging heart. Declarer plays a diamondfrom dummy. Which card do you play?

You should play the jack. If you play low, declarer can, intheory, win the ace and cash the hearts, then end-playyou with a diamond to lead a spade into the queen-nine. If you play the king, he can let you hold it and gofor the same end-play.

If they’d been 2-2 and he couldbring in clubs, the slam would be made. When trumpswere 3-1, North could win the first diamond lead andplay a third trump, restricting Sawiruddin to six trumptricks, the ace of hearts and four club tricks. That addedup to only eleven tricks, for minus 100.

There was an alternative line of play that would havebrought home the slam. Cash just one trump, then playon clubs. With North following helplessly to all fourclubs, a diamond could have been discarded from thedummy. The when a diamond is finally played, Northcan win and lead a trump, but only a second round ofthe suit. This allows declarer to cross-ruff the last fourtricks to make twelve in total. Complicated, yes; fanciful,perhaps, but successful, yes!

At the other table, the Netherlands reached the sensiblecontract of four spades, making five,and won a surprise13 IMPs.

On a trump lead, as Henky Lasut, also of the IndonesiaSenior Team, received, the grand slam is no better thanokay, with twelve tricks from ruffing two spades in thedummy easily available. For trick thirteen, there arefinesses in all three side suits avialable, as well as thepossibility of ruffing down the spade king or heartqueen. All would be well if the heart queen could bemade to appear in three rounds of the suit, but a secondheart ruff would make the contract impossible if clubswere 4-1.

Lasut declined any immediate finesse in hearts or spades,instead ruffing spades in the dummy and a heart in handafter the ace and king. He had reached the moment oftruth. If clubs were 3-2, he could ruff down the queenof hearts; if clubs were 4-1, he would need the diamondfinesse or a squeeze. On the lie of the cards, he couldeither ruff a heart or come to the diamond ace anddraw trumps, effectively squeezing East between spadesand diamonds. At that point, he had no reasonable losingoption. He chose to ruff a heart, thinking that the trumplead made a 3-2 break more likely. He was right. Plus1440 – a great result.

In the other room, the Dutch declarer received adiamond lead, so was able to ruff his three losing spadesin the dummy, cashing his high red-suit winners alongthe way
