“Simple Saturday” columns are meant to help aspiring

players improve technique and develop logical thinking.

Part of doing well at bridge is drawing inferences from

the bidding and play. Some are subtle, some are clear.

In today’s auction, North’s two clubs conventionally asks

South to bid a four-card major, then North’s 2NT invites

game. South has a maximum 1NT opening and knows that

since North doesn’t like spades, he has hearts. So South

jumps to four hearts.

West leads the 10 of clubs, and declarer plays dummy’s

king. If West has led a singleton, East must win and return

a club. But if West led from a doubleton, East must encour-

age with the nine of clubs.

Can West have a singleton club? Then South would

havefour.ButSouthhasshownfourcardsineachmajor

and wouldn’t have opened 1NT with 4-4-1-4 pattern. East

should duck the first club.

When West takes the ace of trumps, he leads his last club

to get a ruff, and the ace of diamonds scores for down one.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold:♠AK75♥♥KQ73♦♦K9♣Q

7 6. The dealer, at your right, opens one diamond. You dou-

ble, and your partner responds one heart. What do you say?

ANSWER:You must not get carried away. Your double

required partner to bid. With as many as 10 points, he

would have jumped to two hearts. As it is, his hand and

hearts may be poor. Raise to two hearts, showing about 17

points, to give your side a chance to reach game, but do no

more.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYSaturday,
Oct. 5, 2019:
This year, you will get past a re-
striction,perhapsoneinvolving
your home or a piece of property.
Don't get heavy about change. If
single, you meet people with ease.
Date, but do not formalize any
bond until you are sure. If at-
tached, the two of you sometimes
don't even speak to each other.
This is not done out of malice, but
because you feel well-integrated
as a couple. Avoid a grumpy CAP-
RICORN.
ARIES(March 21-April 19)
You express a readiness to join in,
as whatever others choose to do is
OK with you. A parent or older
person would like more attention.
This person does their very best to
convey that point. A partner or
dear friend invites you to a fun
gathering. You cannot say no. To-
night: Enjoy your popularity.
TAURUS(April 20-May 20)
Use your imagination and find a
reason to take a drive out into the
country. You might want to see
the foliage or go to a flea market.
Getting fresh air, walking around
and relaxing provides an open-
ness that allows more sharing. To-
night: Be whimsical.
GEMINI(May 21-June 20)
Tension builds. You could be over-
ly serious. You might be con-
cerned about a partnership and
balancing your finances. Someone
you look up to shares a remark-
able idea and invitation. Say yes.
Tonight: Forget your bedtime.
CANCER(June 21-July 22)
You could be at the end of your
patience. You want change, but
you are unwilling to allow others
to participate in your choices even
though they might be impacted. A
dear friend could be overly seri-
ous. Tonight: Say yes to an invita-
tion.
LEO(July 23-Aug. 22)
You could be out of sync and won-
dering what to do. Perhaps getting
back into a routine could be help-
ful. Try a visit to the gym or walk
to meet a friend for lunch. Do not
hesitate to take a nap if you'd like.
Tonight: Put your feet up.
VIRGO(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Allow yourself to be freer and
more open when dealing with a
loved one or friend. Consider your
options with greater care and con-
cern. A child could be out of sorts.
Take time to visit with them. This
child needs to learn how to work
out their feelings. Tonight: Make
nice.
LIBRA(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Defer to a family member or
roommate. You might not be sure
about which way to go with a mat-
ter that involves them. This per-
son might be a bit difficult, but
they will work through it with
your encouragement. Tonight:
Throw a dinner party.
SCORPIO(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You have a lot to say and cannot
be succinct, no matter how hard
you try. Be more forthright about
your choices. You tend to keep
some information to yourself. The
more open you are, the more like-
ly others will be to agree with you.
Tonight: Choose a favorite haunt
for dinner.
SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You can see a lot of reasons to say
no to spending at present. Still,
you might let a bargain or a spe-
cial item go as a result. Weigh the
pros and cons. Get feedback from
a loved one. Tonight: Let someone
else treat.
CAPRICORN(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Even if you appear somber, all
eyes turn to you for information,
suggestions or simply to visit
with. A conversation allows more
relaxation. You see a person or
child in a less stringent light. To-
night: Where you can hear live
music.
AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Try as you might, you cannot get
past a nagging feeling that you
lost a beat or missed a detail that
might be important. Do not wor-
ry. Trust that you will hear about
it. Be more direct in how you han-
dle a difficult situation. Tonight:
Be mysterious. Vanish.
PISCES(Feb. 19-March 20)
Zero in on what you want and
what you want to have. Be more
forthright in how you discuss an
important matter. A friend could
be distant and uncomfortable
with what is happening. Encour-
age this person to speak. Tonight:
Add that touch of magic.
