Few chessmastershave also beenadeptat bridge.

SamuelReshevsky, an Americangrandmaster, triedbridge.

He learnedthe basicsof biddingand play, but becausehis

mindwas orientedto abstract analysis,the personalele-

mentof bridge was beyondhis grasp.

Somedummy-play problemsmirrorchess;declarermust

lookseveralmovesahead.In today’s deal,West leadsa

heart against3NT. (Six diamondswouldbe a fair spot.)

Declarerhas amplewinners,but if he plays low from

dummy, Eastmay win and shift to a damagingspade.

Say Southtakes the ace of hearts, unblocksdummy’s ace

of clubsand continueswiththe A-Q of diamonds.Eastwill

play low, and thenSouthcan’t untangleall his tricksand

will fail.

Southmusttimethe play perfectly. To handlehis entry

problems,he leadsthe queenof diamondsat Trick Three

and,whenEastducks,the jack next. If Eastducksagain,

Southleadsa heart. He is sure of threediamonds,two

hearts, a spadeand threeclubs.

ANSWER:Partner isn’t expecting you to passafter you

respondedin a new suit at the two level. A bid of 2NT

(despiteyourweakdiamonds)or a raiseto threehearts

(hopinghe has a strong suit)is acceptable.In a style where

HAPPY BIRTHDAYfor Tuesday,
Aug. 6, 2019:
This year, you can be unusually
amenablesometimes,butatother
times,you appear withdrawn and
secretive. Othersmightnot be
sure what facet of your personality
they'll encounter. If single, you
couldmeet someone quite inter-
esting and do so withoutany ef-
fort. The bondcould be slow to
develop. If you're attached,you
and your partner sometimes seem
withdrawn from others, but both
of you like that remoteness.
SCORPIO understandsyou well.
ARIES(March 21-April 19)
For an active sign like you, allow-
ing someone else to carry a favor-
ite cause or issueto its end can of-
ten be difficult. Today, you'll de-
cide to do just that in order to
eliminate someconfusion and in-
crease efficiency. Tonight: Get
feedbackfroma partner.
TAURUS(April20-May 20)
Others enjoy being around you;
however, your behavior of late in-
corporates a great deal of unex-
pected actionsand decisions. No-
tice a hesitancy sometimeswhen a
close associate approachesyou.
Tonight: Take a walkto relieve any
stress.
GEMINI(May 21-June20)
You mightbe unusuallycreative
and responsive, at least in the a.m.
Midday, your focus will be on
completing a task and makingan
important call. Rather than shak-
ing up the status quo, start by
dealingwith your unexpected re-
action. Tonight: Get as much done
as possible.
CANCER(June 21-July22)
Getting going could be challeng-
ing. Someof you won't be able to
resist rollingover and turning off
the alarm. Onceyou get going,
you seemfiery and ready to take
action. A childor loved one might
be off-kilter. Tonight: Eye the long
term.
LEO(July23-Aug.22)
You start the day feelingempow-
ered but notice that your recent
charmseemsto fall flat. Empha-
size personal, domestic and famil-
ial matters. Real estate couldbe
involved.You couldfeel that a key
authority figureor boss seemsoff-
kilter. Tonight: Don't push too
hard.
VIRGO(Aug.23-Sept.22)
Onceyou get going and handle a
money matter, you seemfar more
personable. Still, you could be
stunnedby someoneelse's per-
spective. You wonder what's going
on with him or her. To get the an-
swer, try walking in this person's
shoes.Tonight: Catch up on a
friend's news.
LIBRA(Sept.23-Oct. 22)
You mighthear confusingdata
about a business or money matter.
No matter how much you attempt
to rectify this situation, you might
not be able to get it straightened
out by later today or tomorrow.
Relax.Tonight: As you like it.
SCORPIO(Oct.23-Nov. 21)
You couldbe moredifficult than
you realize, but because of a close
associate's idea or reaction, you
get the message. Know that you
have moreself-controlthan you
realize. Also, you might not be
able to change the other party's re-
action. Tonight: Make it easy.
SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Sit back; resist reacting to the up-
roar around you. You coulddecide
to clear out a problem, and doing
so might involve a call to an ex-
pert. Know that you don't need to
make a decisionimmediately. To-
night: Get some extra R and R.
CAPRICORN(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You couldbe zeroing in on a has-
sle or some gossip that mightbe
tripping you up. You knowwhat
you want and expect fromanother
person.At the same time, you see
what's causinginterference. You
couldbe surprised. Tonight: Hang
with a dear friend.
AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You might wantto try anotherap-
proach;it couldwork far better
than what you've been doing. You
could shake up the status quo far
more than you realize at first.
Note how reactive a key person
mightbe. Tonight: To the wee
hours.
PISCES(Feb. 19-March 20)
Reachout for someoneat a dis-
tance. You couldfeel morepushed
and challenged than you usually
do. You'll appreciate any possible
feedback. You don't need to make
any firm decisionstoday. Tonight:
Walk in anotherperson's shoes.
