BRIDGE

BY STEVE BECKER

Howgoodareyou at guessing

two-wayfinesses foramissing

queen?

Assumeyou’re in six dia-

monds, andWestleads the jack

ofclubs. Youcover with dum-

my’squeen and win East’sking

with the ace. If youcould see the

adverse cards at this point, you’d

make seven easily. But you can’t

see themissing cards and so

can’t guaranteemaking even six.

Twodifferentlinesofplay are

available. One is totry toguess

whichopponent has thequeen

of spades andfinesse accord-

ingly. Youwill make eitherfive

or sevenbyplaying this way.

Theothermethodofplay has

nothing whatever todowith

guesswork.Yousimplyhope that

East has eitheroneorbothmiss-

ing heart honours, in which case

you’re sure tomake the slam.

Theodds are 3 -1 that East was

dealtatleastoneof themissing

heart honours. So,ifyoufeel

you haveless than a 7 5% chance

of guessing thelocationof the

queenof spades, youshouldtry

yourluckin hearts.

You begin by cashing the

aceof hearts at tricktwo, draw

tworoundsof trump ending

in dummy andlead the jackof

hearts, discarding a clubif East

followslow. AfterWest takes the

jackwith theking, you ruff his

clubreturn high, cash the K-A

of spades and, if thequeen does

not appear,lead the 10of hearts,

planning todiscard the jackof

spades if East followslow again.

Of course, if East covers the 10

with thequeen, you ruff high,

cross to dummy’sremaining

trump and discard your spade

loseron the heart nine.

Thislineofplay succeeds un-

lessWest hasboth heart honours

and thequeenof spades is not

singletonordoubleton, giving

youbetter than an 80% chance

tomake the slam.
