“We dispensewithaccuracy.” — sloganon a marqueeout-

Inaccurateplay isn’t always punished— sometimes

the bridge godsare merciful— but it was in today’s deal.

Against3NT, West led a low spade:six, 10, jack.Declarer

knew that West sat behindhim withthe A-Q, and if East

got in to returna spade,the contract might fail.

So Southplannedto attack the clubsto keep Eastfrom

winninga trickif possible.Insteadof finessing withthe

jack, Southwouldtake the K-A, guardingagainsta double-

ton queenwithEast.

But whenSouthtookthe kingof clubsnext, West played

the queen.Eastwas sure to get in withthe fourth roundof

clubs,and downSouthwent, losingfour spadesand a club.

South’s play was slightlyoff. He shouldlead a low club at

TrickTwo.WhenWestplaysthequeen,dummyplayslow,

and Southis safe for ninetricks.(If West is sly enoughto

play the queenwhenhe holdsQ-x, thussavingan overtrick,

HAPPY BIRTHDAYfor Friday,
Aug. 23, 2019:
This year, you often say one thing,
yetgooffanddosomethingdif-
ferent. Others might comment on
this behavior. If single, giving off
mixedmessages could complicate
a budding tie. People could back
off because of this. You will need
to relate to someone who under-
stands both voices. If attached,
the two you agreeto disagree, but
this is often irrelevant, as you
have such a hoot together. Honor
your differences and love the fun
times the two of you experience.
GEMINI knows how to get your
attention.
ARIES(March 21-April 19)
No matter what the situation, you
will feel unusually tense. You
mighteven develop an attitude,
as you could feel that someone is
nixing your ideas randomly. To-
night: If expressing anger, choose
your words with care.
TAURUS(April 20-May 20)
Plans could rapidly change as
people's emotions swingfromone
mood to another. Your response
could be equally unpredictable.
Try to relax and go with the flow.
Others' vacillation is not directed
toward you. Tonight: Keep your
spending under control.
GEMINI(May 21-June20)
You could become more uptight
and fussier thanyou have beenin
a while. You mightblame this
change of mood on this or that,
but the truth is simply that you
feel differently at the moment.
Tonight: Go for what you want.
CANCER(June21-July 22)
Emotions surface once more. You
feel as if there is something you
are missing. You could also be
picking up on what someone who
is close to you is feeling. To clear
it out, you might needto make
several calls. Tonight: Go with a
whim!
LEO(July 23-Aug.22)
You needto move a project for-
ward and no longer get stuck in
others' reservations and
thoughts. Confusionsurroundsa
personal matter, but it will clear
up in a day or so. Tonight: Do not
take someone's attitude personal-
ly.
VIRGO(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You suddenly feel energized. If a
boss or someone you work with
notices your high energy, you
could have a lot of last-minute
work dropped on you. You could
say no! Clear it out as quickly as
you can. Tonight: Fun surrounds
you.
LIBRA(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Reach out for the unimagined.
What appears as a nice but slight-
ly impossible dream could actual-
ly become a reality. Rather than
nix it, see how you can manifest
this thought. Curb your tendency
to go overboard. Tonight: As you
like it.
SCORPIO(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You cannot help but zero in on
what is going on with another
person. Often, others don't realize
how tuned in you are. You do not
let them know when you can see
they are avoiding telling you the
whole story! Tonight: The more
people, the better.
SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You could feel tense. A comrade
at work makes it clear they need
time with you. Make it your plea-
sure.You will get to knowthis
person better. You experience an
odd mix of enjoyment and worry.
Tonight: All smiles.
CAPRICORN(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Stay anchored, if possible. Eye a
situation fromthe perspective of
having known this person for a
while. If someone seems too will-
ing to go along with one of your
ideas, find out why. Tonight: Post-
pone judgment.
AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You can no longer hold yourself
back. One-on-one relating is high-
lighted. You make the impossible
possible by deciding that nothing
is impossible. Your sense of hu-
mor and playfulness distract
some people, but others jump
right in. Tonight: Go with the
flow.
PISCES(Feb. 19-March 20)
You might be moretangled up in
a personal situation thanyou
would like. Understand where an-
other person is coming from. You
might consider that this person
seldom seems needy. What is hap-
pening is quiteunique. Tonight:
Go with the flow.
