Few chess masters have also been

adept at bridge. Samuel Reshevsky, an

American grandmaster, tried bridge.

He learned the basics of bidding and

play, but because his mind was

oriented to abstract analysis, the

personal element of bridge was

beyond his grasp.

Some dummy-play problems mirror

chess; declarer must look several

moves ahead. In today’s deal, West

leads a heart against 3NT. (Six

diamonds would be a fair spot.)

Declarer has ample winners, but if he

plays low from dummy, East may win

and shift to a damaging spade.

UNBLOCK

Say South takes the ace of hearts,

unblocks dummy’s ace of clubs and

continues with the A-Q of diamonds.

East will play low, and then South can’t

untangle all his tricks and will fail.

South must time the play perfectly.

To handle his entry problems, he leads

the queen of diamonds at Trick Three

and, when East ducks, the jack next. If

East ducks again, South leads a heart.

He is sure of three diamonds, two

hearts, a spade and three clubs.
