Fuzzy thinkingon defenseis a disorderfromwhichmany

players suffer. A gooddefenderdistinguishesthe times

wait.

Today’s Southslightlymisjudgedthe auction.Eastwould

go downone at four hearts, so South’s five diamondswas

wrong— but onlyin theory. In practice, Easttookthe

queenof hearts and triedto cashthe ace. Southruffed, lost

a trumpto the ace, ruffed the next heart, drew trumpsand

ran the clubsto pitchspades.Makingfive.

West’s leap to four hearts was preemptive,so East

couldn’t expect to casha secondheart. To prevail, he needs

manding. Do not take theircom-
mentspersonally.

lating makes you smile.
