Goodwill honorsJabbour, Mahaffey

“Good will is important,” said Zeke Jabbour ashe was honored last night at the GoodwillCommittee get-together. “I think good will iscrucial to the future of bridge – yes, even to thefuture of the world.” Jabbour earned his kudos withhis achievements, his personality, his goodwill.

Jordan named GoodwillMember of the Year

The National Goodwill Committee yesterdayhonored Harold Jordan of Wilmington DE as theGoodwill Member of the Year. Unfortunately Jordanhad a previous commitment – he was running a majorcharity event last night – so he couldn’t be present toaccept the honor. But there was still a majorcelebration in his honor. The local folks who attendedlast night’s game threw a big party for him atprecisely the same time that Goodwill ChairmanAileen Osofsky was making the announcement here.

“I cannot express how humbled I am by myselection for this honor,” said Jordan.” I wish I couldhave been with you in Orlando, but I have a 36-tablecharity event to take care of tonight.”

The Delaware State Bridge Association (Unit190) has made tremendous gains since Jordan waselected president six years ago. The driving forcebehind all initiatives has been Jordan, according toKurt Engleman, current unit president. The unit hasthe distinction of having the greatest membershipgrowth in the ACBL last year.

“Jordan quickly recognized that our unit was

Play or defend?By Michael Rosenberg

I was having dinner with a friend after the secondBoard-a-Match qualifying session, and we weregoing over the hands. “Board 23 was a dull push forus,” he said. “Four spades making in both rooms.”

“I guess it was no problem after a heart lead,” Isaid. Then quickly covering the Deep Finesseanalysis result, I asked, “Would you rather play ordefend four spades?”

He thought a little and replied, “Play, obviously.Even on a trump lead, declarer wins the second trumpand runs diamonds to pitch a heart.” This is the deal:

Board 23 ♠ A Q JDlr: South ♥ A Q J 10 8 3Vul: Both ♦ J 3

♣ Q J♠ 7 5 3 ♠ K 8 6 4 2♥ 6 ♥ 9 5♦ A K 8 4 2 ♦ 10 7 6 5♣ A K 10 8 ♣ 7 2

♠ 10 9♥ K 7 4 2♦ Q 9♣ 9 6 5 4 3

“And what if North ducks the first trump?” Iasked.

“Oh! You’re right! I guess I defend.”“But did you notice the club position?” I went on.

“Declarer can cash clubs to discard a heart whileNorth is ruffing with a trump trick.”

“Oh! You’re right! I guess I play.”“Unfortunately you go down.,” I said. “North

ruffs the club, then underleads his heart to partnerwho gives him another club ruff with the ace. Thenthe spade 10 is the setting trick.”

“Oh, so you can’t make,” he said.“Are you kidding?” I exclaimed. “Four spades is

cold!”“But how?” he asked in exasperation.“All East has to do is duck the king of spades.

Now the defense is left without recourse.”Of course, if North’s spades were the ace-king-

jack, then North could always defeat four spades – byplaying the ♠J at trick one. But how many playerswould think of that?

Junior shinesWhen Richard Pavlicek and Rich Pavlicek Jr.

won the Life Master Open Pairs, they became thefirst father-son duo ever to achieve the feat.

As expected, when asked for key deals from theevent, Dad focused on young Rich. Here are twoexamples of the fine play by the younger Pavlicekthat contributed significantly to the victory. Bothcome from the first final session.

West led the ♣2 – “attitude” – and Rich tookthe queen with his king. At trick two, he played aspade to dummy’s jack, then called for the ♦Q,covered by the king and ace as West tossed a lowheart. A spade to the king was followed by the ♦8,10, jack, ♣5. Now came the ♥K, a heart to the aceand a diamond to the 6 as West, clearly in trouble,tossed another club. On Rich’s last diamondwinner, West threw yet another club. Reading thesituation accurately, Rich exited with the ♣10 toWest’s jack. After cashing the ♣A, West had to leadfrom his ♠Q into Rich’s tenace. Plus 660 was a tiefor top.

Two boards later, Rich had a chance to shine ondefense – and he took it.

East-West can make slam in threedenominations — clubs, diamonds and notrump —but the play is not trivial. In the slam bid against thePavliceks, Rich made a play that caused declarer totake his eye off the ball, with fatal consequences.

Rich led the ♣6, taken in dummy with the ace.Declarer immediately played a diamond to thequeen – and Rich ducked. With a peek at all thecards, declarer would simply have cashed the ♦Aand exited with a third round of the suit. He wouldthen have had ample entries to dummy to ruff theclubs good and claim his slam.

When the ♦Q held, declarer reentered dummyby playing the ♠10 to the queen, and when heplayed a diamond to the jack, Rich won the kingand exited with the ♠8. That was it for the slam.Communication between the East-West hands wascompletely messed up, and the best declarer coulddo from there was two down.

This is the silver-medal team from the Women’s series of the World Bridge Team Olympiad,completed earlier this month in Istanbul, Turkey. Seated, Marinesa Letizia, non-playing captain,Jill Levin and Janice Seamon-Molson; standing, Randi Montin, Tobi Sokolow, Jill Meyers andCarlyn Steiner.

Suit preferenceBy Barry Rigal

Using a suit preference signal can make adifference in your matchpoint score. Watch whathappens on this deal from the second final session ofthe Life Master Open Pairs as Mark Aquino andJonathan Green defend a doubled contract. Aquinoand Green finished second in the event.

When Green led his lastheart, declarer called for dummy’s trump 8, butAquino was able to overruff with the 9. Declarerguessed the spade situation correctly, but plus 300still was worth 81 out of a possible 90 matchpoints

Goodwill MessageHow pleasant it is to hear a player call, “Director, please” — instead of

an anguished “DIRECTOR!” Why not extend thatcourtesy to our caddies? Don’t you think “Caddy,please” has a rather nice sound.

Remember that Orlando is the first NABC forsome of our players — and it’s also the first NABCfor many of our caddies.

Aileen Osofsky, ChairmanNational Goodwill Committee

On the Excellent Qualities of ZekeJabbour, Bridge Player(with no apologies whatsoever to W.S. Gilbert)

If you want a receipt for that popular mysteryKnown to the world as that fellow, JabbourTake all the remarkable players in historyTotal them up and then add a few more.

The pluck of the Vanderbilt changing the scoring,The genius of Watson divining a hand.The wisdom of Woodson that all are ignoring.The play of Goren so carefully planned.

The pride of Passell, and the reasoning of Robinson,Coolness of Kasle, the wonder of Wold,The greatness of partnerships, Meckstroth and Rodwell,And Soloway resolute chasing the gold.

Take Crawford whose bids were too much for the layman,Add Easley Blackwood and Gerber and Stayman;

Then throw in the ladies, especially the best of them,Mary Jane Farell and all of the rest of them.Sweetness of Temper, distill and refine:Josephine, Helen and Sylvia Stein.

Take of the greatest the best that is feasible;Melt it down in a pipkin or crucibleSet it to simmer and take off the scum,And a man named Jabbour is the residuum.

If you want a receipt for that bridge-playing paragon,Get at the judgment of Crane if you can;The glory of Spaniards when playing for AragonHumor of Omar devising a plan.

Take Kaplan and Sheinwold, and Fry on finesses,The class of Mark Lair and the ring of a Bell;And Moyse who could almost eliminate guesses,And Hayden and Seamon, the flair of Weichsel.

The grace of a Hamman, whom no one displeases;And Ely and Oswald and Clyde Love on squeezes.

The style of a Rosenkranz, Schenken a touch of himLittle of Coffin, but not very much of himMark Itabashi and Phileas Fogg;Hamilton, Baze and the Hideous Hog!

Take of these elements all that is fusible;Melt them all down in a pipkin or crucible.Set them to simmer and take off the scum;And a man named Jabbour is the residuum!– Bab Again (incarnated this time as Gersh Morningstar)

suffering from the plight of an aging membership, few new members and stagnantgames,” said Engleman “Jordan used his creativity, knowledge of the game andtechnical expertise to address these issues.”

Jordan’s initial efforts focused on improving the quality of local games. Hefirst authorized the acquisition of a Duplimate machine to pre-duplicate boards forevery game. Then together with National Tournament Directors Millard Nachtweyand Doug Grove, he devised web movements for every number of tables possible.These movements create greater board duplication when there is a large numberof tables – thus the results are more representative. Now everyone plays the same26 boards and gets hand records. The game averages 30 tables a week plus anewcomer section of from eight to 10 tables.

The newcomer section is another story. When Jordan became president, therewere no Intermediate/Novice sections at the local games. So Jordan asked Tomand Alexis Cicontes to teach beginner bridge. He found a good location for theteaching, and he convinced the unit to underwrite athe initiative by supplyingbidding boxes, cards, tables, compensation, etc. Jordan also provided technicalsupport with ACBLscore and he posted scores on the website. He even bakedbanana bread for the students.

As a result of Jordan’s leadership, the unit has supported 300 students, roughlyhalf of whom have become ACBL members.

Jordan didn’t stop at the unit level. He and Susan Corbett were tournamentchairs for the Wilmington Regional.

His technological expertise and creativity know no bounds. He designed andmaintains the Unit 190 and the Bridge Studio websites.

The three American teams that brought home medals from the worldchampionships in Istanbul, Turkey, were honored. The teams:

Seniors team– gold medal: John Onstott, Jim Robison, John Schermer, NeilChambers, Marshall Miles, Leo Bell and npc Gene Freed.

Women’s Olympiad team – silver medal: Marinesa Letizia, Jill Meyers,Randi Montin, Janice Seamon-Molson, Tobi Sokolow, Carlyn Steiner and npcJill Levin.

University team – bronze medal – Charlie Garrod, Marc Glickman, AriGreenberg, John Kranyak, Joon Pahk, Noble Shore and npc Donna Compton.

Zeke JabbourDon Rumelhard, a friend and partner for 30 years, recalled his first meeting

with Jabbour. Barry Breakey asked Rumelhard to play with this new partner.“Who is they guy?” asked Breakey.

“Don’t worry, he can play,” said Rumelhard. “Where’s he from?”“Ann Arbor.”“Ann Arbor! I know everybody who can follow suit in Ann Arbor, and I’ve

never seen this guy before.”“Don’t worry, he can play.”Rumelhard then added, “Well, after 30,000 masterpoints, a first place in the

Barry Crane competition and numerous national and regional victories,including two world medals, the jury is in – he can play.”

Rumelhard further pointed out that Jabbour has other talents – creativehome builder, organizer and performer in the theater and an active politicianwho was known as the kingmaker.

Brent Manley, executive editor of The Bridge Bulletin, said that one of hispleasures as editor was to be the first to read each of Jabbour’s submissions.

Suddenly attention was directed to the back of the room where Kojak, akaBill Schoder, retired national tournament director, was at the piano. He played afew bars, and then Gersh Morningstar, who used to work with Jabbour in thetheater, started singing. It was a song he wrote just for Jabbour – you can findthe lyrics in the column on the left.

Jabbour’s wife Sharon said that lots of people call her Lucky – “Zeke’s thereason for that,” she said. “Zeke puts a smile on the face of bridge.”

When Jabbour took the podium, he was quick to say, “Lucky! You knowwho’s the lucky one in this family.” He told he how overwhelmed he felt atreceiving this honor.

Jim MahaffeyMark Lair told about his first “game” with Mahaffey.“Tom Mahaffey, Jim’s father, thought his son and I would make a good

partnership. We had a great dinner and then we spent four hours going over ourconventions and agreements. Then on the day of the game we spent another 90minutes refreshing our understandings.

“Then I went across the street to buy the entry – it was a little before oneo’clock. When I got to the playing area, I was informed that the game started at12:30. I pleaded with them to let us play, but it was no go. So we played in acouple of side games.

“But Jim had a problem – he couldn’t understand how a pro could forget tobuy an entry.”

Back in the Eighties, Mahaffey noticed the dearth of young players, PaulSoloway pointed out. “Jim funded a scholarship foundation and then kick-started our Educational Foundation.”

Perseverence pays offBy Lynn Berg

On a day when theDaily Bulletin showed thechampions of the LifeMaster Pairs winning 125Masterpoints, Jerry andRochelle Goldstein werethrilled to win their veryfirst point.

The Wellington FLcouple have gone to sometrouble to get here: Jerryhas a motorized scooterand has trouble gettingaround. They playedFriday and Saturday in the0-20, Bridge Plus+ and 0-5/20 games withoutscratching, but they lovethe game and stayed on.

On Sunday, theyattended Marti Ronemus’ Easybridge! class with 63 others, and then stayed for the 7.5-table game that followed. Patience and perseverance paid off: the Goldsteins won a point.And ACBL benefited, too. Jerry was already a member, and Rochelle was so excited bytheir success that she joined, too.

Rochelle told TD Judy Cotterman that they had to go home “just when we started awinning streak,” but they were trying to figure out how to stay or to come back again.That’s as big a success for ACBL as that 125 points won elsewhere in the building.

Using bid boxesThe use of bid boxes at clubs and tournaments

has become quite standard, but if you’re new toduplicate, bid boxes may also be new to you.

Here are some tips:• Decide on your call before you touch a bid

card. Don’t think with your fingers — decidewhether you’re going to bid 2♠ or 3♠ before youreach for that bid card.

• Look at the bid card before pulling itcompletely out of the box. You’d find it hard toconvince a director that you inadvertently pulledthe “Pass” card when you meant to bid 6♠.

• Display your bid cards neatly left to right infront of you. If all four players do this, a completerecord of the auction is displayed.

• Conclude the auction properly by placingyour “Pass” card on the table.

• Even when the auction has concluded, don’trush to gather up your bid cards and place themback in the box. Many players find it helpful to letall bid cards remain on the table until North hasrecorded the final contract and the opening lead hasbeen made.

• Try to avoid inadvertent calls. What isnormally a clear situation with spoken biddingbecomes somewhat hazy when bid boxes are used.

The Laws reads: “Until his partner makes acall, a player may substitute his intended call for aninadvertent call but only if he does so, or attemptsto do so, without pause for thought.”

An inadvertent call is inadvertent if — andonly if — it was a “slip of the fingers,” the bid boxequivalent of a “slip of the tongue.” You reached forthe 3♣ card but the 3♦ card accidentally came out.

In these situations, the correct call may besubstituted without penalty. A player who callsattention to the inadvertent bid as soon as he noticeswhat he actually pulled from the bid box has doneso without pause for thought, even if some time haselapsed.

This is the “oops” rule: with spoken bidding —you would have said, “Three clubs — oops, I meantthree diamonds.” With bid boxes, you may say,“Oops” and substitute the 3♣ bid card for the 3♦bid card.

Actor in new role astournament director

By Lynn BergPass Phil Gillis in

the hall or a playingroom, and you mightassume you are seeing atournament director orsome other bridgenotable. Tall, dignified,carefully turned out in ablue blazer, starchedshirt and hand-tied bow

tie, Phil has considerable presence.Look again and make eye contact, and you

realize that you are meeting someone keenlyinterested in people and curious about how thingswork.

Which explains why a 79-year-old retiredlawyer and actor is here in Orlando to take the clubdirector course as well as the TeacherAccreditation Program (TAP). Phil and his wife,Teresa, came from Detroit, she to play bridge andPhil to attend courses.

Phil learned to play the game 70 years ago. Hewas ill, confined to bed, and a friend of his fathergave him an Autobridge set. Four years later, stillintrigued with the game, he played with his fatherat a high school bridge party.

Sixty-five years later, Phil remembers the firsthand he and his father bid. It seems Dad was aproponent of the “Boulder Dam System,” a quick-trick, counting approach with lots of jump bids.

Phil went on to practice law in Detroit andbegan making commercials and local-set moviesin the Detroit and Pontiac areas. Eventually heplayed small parts in movies in Hollywood. Hisinterest in bridge while on location in NewZealand for a movie about Hercules led him toplay in a dozen different New Zealand clubs.

In Orlando, Phil is “impressed with the ACBLmaterials” of the courses he attended as well aswith the “high quality of service and careful workof the ACBL professionals.”

He capped a busy day of course work withobservation and going on the floor as a director forpart of the afternoon session in the 0-300 games.

West leads the ♠A. Plan your defense as East.The bidding was normal. West showed his two

five-card suits but was outbid by the opponents.Sitting East (it’s hard to believe that you are

going to be the hero on this deal, isn’t it?), you start ahigh-low in spades to show your doubleton. Partnercashes the ♠K and leads the ♠J which you ruff.

It may be tempting to return a club, a suit partnerhas bid, but partner has warned you not to lead a club.His return of the ♠J, an unusually high card in a suitwhere he had a choice of spades to lead, is a suitpreference play.

Partner is asking you to return the higher-rankingside suit (diamonds). Alternatively, the return of a lowspade would ask you to return the lower-ranking sidesuit, clubs.

It is not for you to reason why, it is for you to door die. When you return a diamond, partner ruffs andyou are a hero.

Point to remember: When giving partner a ruff,you will have a choice of cards to lead. The card youselect will be interpreted as suit preference.

A good partner will return the suit you ask for.Therefore, do yourself a favor and ask yourself whichsuit you really want returned. If you don’t and thingsgo wrong, it’s on your head.

♠ ♥ ♦ ♣

Suit combinationsBy Barry Rigal

Some suit combinations don’t seem to offermuch scope for machination. Look at Board 3 fromthe second qualifying session of the Board-a-MatchTeams.

Board 3 ♠ A 9 4Dlr: South ♥ Q J 4Vul: E-W ♦ 10 5

♣ A K Q 3 2♠ J 5 3 2 ♠ Q 8 7 6♥ A 7 ♥ K 9 6 5 3♦ A 8 6 ♦ 9 4 2♣ 8 6 5 4 ♣ 9

♠ K 10♥ 10 8 2♦ K Q J 7 3♣ J 10 7

You play 3NT as North. The Q-J-4 opposite the10-8-2 looks as if it is worth one trick however youslice it: yes or no?

At some tables the contract was 3NT. East leda heart to the ace and 4. Back came a heart to thequeen and king and hearts were cleared. Declarercashed a bunch of side-suit tricks, and eventuallythe defense took the ♦A. Yawn?

Well, consider what happens if North smoothlydeposits the queen and jack under the king and ace.Now East has to weigh up whether West has ♥ A-7-4 or ♥ A-7 and a key control in either clubsor diamonds – in which case he should duck. If hefalls for the bait and ducks, declarer has an 11thtrick – together with a board-a-match win and anaggravated opponent!

Here’s another interesting deal from the samesession along the same lines:

Board 7 ♠ Q 5 4 2Dlr: South ♥ J 9 8 3Vul: Both ♦ 10 6

♣ J 9 6♠ J 7 3 ♠ K 9 8♥ — ♥ Q 10 5 4♦ K Q J 9 5 2 ♦ 4 3♣ A 4 3 2 ♣ K Q 7 5

♠ A 10 6♥ A K 7 6 2♦ A 8 7♣ 10 8

How many spade losers do East-West have intheir diamond contract? Well, it looks as if youhave two if you are a good guesser, three if you arenot. This was the bidding:

West North East South1NT

3♦ Pass Pass PassOn the ♥8 lead to the king, ruffed, declarer led

a top diamond, ducked. South won the nextdiamond and carefully exited in diamonds.Declarer won and cashed three clubs, ending inhand to reach this ending:

♠ Q 5 4 2♥ J 9♦ —♣ —

♠ J 7 3 ♠ K 9 8♥ — ♥ Q 10♦ 9 5 ♦ —♣ 2 ♣ 5

♠ A 10 6♥ A 7 6♦ —♣ —

Now declarer led a low spade toward thedummy, intending to put in the 8. Declarer knewSouth would be endplayed. So did North, whohoped his partner held A-J-10, in which case hewould be a hero by playing the queen.No such luck– declarer covered the queen with the king and lostonly one spade trick. South had to lead a spade backto the 9 or play a top heart, letting declarer ruff andcross to dummy in clubs for a spade discard on the♥Q.

Blue Ribbon Pairs:a prestigious event

Last year first-time partners Michael Seamon andGeir Helgemo led the Edgar Kaplan Blue RibbonPairs after the semifinal round and again when itcounted: at the end of the final round.

The pair’s 1825.36 matchpoints was almost twofull boards (51 was top) ahead of runners-up EricGreco and Geoff Hampson, who posted 1730.30.

The Edgar Kaplan Blue Ribbon Pairs ranks withthe Life Master Pairs as one of the most prestigious— and toughest — pair events on the ACBL calendar.Like the LM Pairs, the Blue Ribbon Pairs is playedover three days and includes two qualifying, twosemifinal and two final sessions.

Entry is restricted to winners and runners-up inregional championships — plus high finishers inNorth American championships, members of currentGrand National district championship teams,members of current official teams representingACBL and the top 100 lifetime masterpoint holders.

The Blue Ribbon Pairs was renamed the EdgarKaplan Blue Ribbon Pairs in 1999 to honor one ofbridge’s all-time great players, writers, administratorsand the authority on the laws of the game.

Kaplan (1925-1997) won his first NorthAmerican championship in 1953 — the Vanderbilt —and his last in 1997 — the Open Swiss Teams at theSpring NABC in Dallas.

Kaplan was recognized as the world’s foremostauthority on the laws of duplicate and rubber bridge.He became co-chairman of the ACBL LawsCommission in 1978 and was co-chairman of theWBF Laws Commission at the time of his death.

He was named ACBL Honorary Member in1993. In 1995 he was inducted into the ACBL BridgeHall of Fame and the WBF Hall of Fame.

The trophyThe event is contested for the Cavendish Trophy,

awarded for the National Open Pair Championshipand donated by the Cavendish Club of New York in1928. Since 1963, the trophy has been awarded towinners of the Blue Ribbon Pairs.

Facts: The last four cards in declarer’s (West’s)hand were ♣K Q 8 and ♦6. The ♦6 was the onlyremaining diamond in play. South still held threeclubs and the ♠10 and North held the ♠A. The playhad gone: ♥J led and won, heart to the ace, ruffed.♦Q, losing to the king. ♥K, winning, declarerpitching his ♠9. Another heart, ruffed by the ♣5,♣9 and ♣J. Declarer played a diamond to South’sace. North ruffed a diamond and played anotherheart, ruffed by the ♣A. At this point, West put the♣K and ♣Q on the table, and after a brief pauseplaced the ♦6 and the ♣8 on the table sequentially.Declarer did not immediately make a statement anda discussion arose. The director was summoned.West told the director that the diamond was goodand that he would know about the bad club breakwhen North failed to follow, in which case hewould be unable to pick up the trump.

Director’s Ruling: The director ruled thatunder Law 70D, which governs contested claims,the play of the ♣8 before the ♦6 would have beencareless or inferior, but not irrational for a declarerwho had made no statement about trumps.Therefore, the declarer awarded the final two tricksto North-South by forcing the lead of the ♣8 at trick12. Down four, minus 800 for East-West.

The Appeal: East-West said that when declarerput his cards on the table, South kept stating that thelosing club had to be played first and did not giveWest a chance to state the order of play. So, theEast-West appeal was based on their perception thatSouth had deprived West of the opportunity tomake a timely statement and on their belief that theorder in which West placed his cards on the tablemanifested his intent to play them in that order.

The Decision: The committee determined thatsince declarer had not made an oral statement ofclaim, his actions may be decisive. The committeebelieved that declarer’s play of the cards in theorder he did manifested his intent to make his claimbased on that order of play. Playing two hightrumps, an off-suit winner and then the final trumpis sufficiently unnatural for it to manifest declarer’sintent to base his claim on the play of the cards inthat order. Had he thought his whole hand waswinners, he would likely have placed all the cardsdown at once or placed the clubs down first andthen the diamonds. Therefore the committeeawarded only one of the last two tricks to North-South. Result: East-West minus 500, North-Southplus 500.

(1) Agreed-upon break in tempo.Facts: The director, who was called after the

5♦ bid, determined that the double was precededby an extended break in tempo of about 25 seconds.The STOP card had been used prior to the 3♣ bid.North-South play 15-17 1NT. North-South had notdiscussed whether 3♥ was forcing, but both treatedit as highly constructive. East-West play DONTover opponent’s 1NT opening bids.

Director’s Ruling: The director ruled that thebreak in tempo suggested doubt about the double of5♣, which in turn suggested that 5♦ would be amore attractive alternative for South, as pass is alogical alternative to bidding 5♦. Hence, the resultwas adjusted to 5♣ doubled, plus 750 for East-West.

The Appeal: South disagreed with thedirector’s finding that pass was a logical alternative– especially against top-level players.

The Decision: The committee consideredmany typical North hands and estimated thatpulling the double would produce a better resultthan passing a little more than half the time.However, this clearly did not make passing anillogical alternative. Since the slowness of temposuggested that bidding was more attractive thanpassing, the committee determined that South mustpass. The play in 5♣ would easily achieve 11 tricksand no more. Therefore, the adjustment of theboard’s result to plus 750 East-West was made.

The committee determined that North-Southwere experienced players and should have beenfamiliar with Law 16, Unauthorized Information,which governs situations such as this. Thecommittee decided that the appeal was withoutmerit.

If North had led a spade, the defenders wouldhave scored the first two tricks and eventually adiamond trick to defeat 5♥. Then there would be nostory. At several tables, the opening lead was the♣3, a natural singleton lead. At one table in thewomen’s event, Sue Weinstein (West) won the clublead in dummy, drew trumps and led the ♦A and♦6. South played the queen under the ace, butNorth played the 9 on the 6, and South had to winthe trick with the jack. South was endplayed, forcedto lead a black suit to declarer’s advantage. Making11 tricks.

To defeat 5♥, North had to make the famousCrocodile Coup play, going up second hand withthe ♦K to swallow her partner’s jack. You wouldthink in Florida that players would be on the look-out for this play, but the truth is Florida has veryfew crocodiles – the creatures that float around inthe lagoons here are alligators!

In the Open Board-a-Match Teams, HughBrown (West) found a fantastic way to avoid givinghis opponents the chance to execute the Crocodile.Brown won the club lead in dummy, and drewseven rounds of trump! This was the position whenthe last trump was led:

♠ J 7 ♥ — ♦ K 10 9 3 ♣ —

♠ 8 5 ♠ K 6♥ 5 ♥ —♦ A 6 ♦ 8 7♣ 6 ♣ K J

♠ A Q♥ — ♦ Q J♣ Q 10

On the lead of the ♥5, diamonds were thrownaround the table. Notice that South could notdiscard a spade or a club. He had been squeezeddown to one diamond on that last trump. Brownthen was able to cash the ♦A, extracting South’slast diamond, followed by a club to the king and the♣J, endplaying South to lead from the A-Q ofspades at trick 12.

This triple-squeeze strip and endplay wasbeautifully handled, and, though I won’t say it leftSouth in crocodile tears, I will say South wasimpressed enough to show me the deal for today’sDaily Bulletin.
