MV BX Gannett Westchester December 4, 1985 Section BRIDGE BANTER BY DANIEL PERLMAN It's all in the timing The trapeze artist swings to the top of his arc, releases the bar, spins through three somersaults and confidently reaches up to grab his partner's outstretched hands. The tight end races 30 yards down the field, stops, cuts sharply to his left, and snares the quarterback's pass on his fingertips. It's all in the exquisite sense of timing that every champion posseses. It's the intangible that differentiates the grand master from Americanus averageplayer in the handling of this seemingly simple Hand of the Week. NORTH AJ5 32 75 AQ10963 WEST EAST 10986 Q74 Q106 J987 Q1084 J92 72 KJ5 SOUTH K32 AK54 AK63 84 Vulnerable: East-West Dealer: South The bidding: South West North East INT Pass 3NT Pass Pass The three notrump contract was an unanimous choice, and in every instance the spade 10 was opened.
Only one declarer made his contract with an overtrick while all the others managed to go down. Our hero played small from dummy and won the first trick with the king in his hand. The eight of clubs rode around to East's jack and the heart return was taken by declarer's king. The second club finesse lost to East's king, but declarer's had 10 tricks. But look at what happens when dummy's jack is played at trick one.
The queen forces declarer's king, and when the club finesse loses, a spade comes back to remove dummy's last entry before the clubs are set up. The expert had foreseen that if the club finesse lost, the spade acejack would prevent a spade return. Thus by not putting up the jack declarer obtained the "timing" essential to the establishment and cashing of the club suit. So, make an objective judgment in the matter of "timing." Would you rate yourself on a par with a hand-tooled quartz chronometer or on the level of a medieval sundail? Ruffs and Sluffs: Several two-timers gained entry to the elite winner's circle of the Mount Vernon Bridge Club; Joe Astrachan made it on Tuesday, Nov. 19, with a walk-on partner and again on Thursday, Nov.
21, with Joe Giardina. The latter also had a top finish on Tuesday with Dr. Walter Areinoff. Elly Guttmann had a first on Tuesday with steady partner, Ruth Grant, and finished near the top on Thursday with Bertha Charkow. Gentleman Walter Rau had a big win with another good doctor, Michel Janis, while ebullient Rose Hochberg swept to the top with her pal, Barbara Skluth.
And last but also first were the boys, Locitzer and Bomze. Other to be looked over, but not overlooked, are Barbara Mackle- Peter Vichaidith, Herman Rothstein-Richard Walourit, Harry PetserBob Haffe, and the irrepressible Susanna Lionetti with Gina Tames. Incidentally, Susanna is chopping her last liver for MVBC'S holiday party on Dec. 12th. Finally a special welcome to Betty Zentall and Bea Hartzband, back in the winner's circle.
