BRIDGE

BY STEVE BECKER

Before decidingwhich way to

take a two-way finesse, declarer

should explore everypossible

avenueofinformation.Inmany

cases,cluesare directly available

fromthebiddingorplay.

Take thiscase where South is

infiveclubs.West leadsthe K-A

andanother diamond, declarer

ruffingthe third diamond with

dummy’squeenasEastdiscards

a heart. South thendrawstrump

intworounds.

Thesuccessof the contract de-

pendsonguessingthe location

of the queenof hearts.IfWest

hasit, it canbeneutralizedby

leadinga heart tothe 10;if East

hasit, the finessemustbe taken

theother way.

Befo re committing himself,

Southshould review what he al-

ready knowsabout theopposing

hands.Sofar,hehasdiscovered

that Weststarted withprecisely

sixdiamondsandtwoclubs.Ifhe

canfindouthowmanyspades

Westwasdealt, he cangoalong

way towardsolvinghisproblem.

Accordingly, declarer next

cashesthe A-Kofspadesand

ruffsaspade,notingthatboth

opponents follow throughout.

He thenleadsthesevenofclubs

South cannowproceed with

absolute confidence. A low heart
