Ubiquitous juniors
I of Europe
By Phillip Alder
Young bridge players abound in Eu-
rope. International matches, which
provide invaluable experience, can be
arranged with the minimum of ex-
pense because of the proximity of the
countries. Also, bridge is encouraged
in high schools, as it is recognized to be
an intellectual exercise.
This year’s biennial Junior Europe-
an Championship, for players under
25 years old, was contested by 23 na-
tions, including Lithuania, Estonia
and the Commonwealth of Indepen-
dent States. Italy finished first, ahead
of Germany and Norway.
Claudio Nunes, from Italy, was one
of only three declarers to play today’s
deal correctly.
In the given auction, two clubs is
strong, artificial and forcing.
It is easy to make the slam if you
know the trumps are 3-2. But what if
they are 4-1? Most declarers won trick
one with the diamond ace, unblocked
the heart ace and played a spade to
dummy’s ace. West’s jack caused
them to pause. After discarding the di-
amond six on dummy’s heart king,
South would be wrong to finesse the
spade 10 if West had played the jack
from Q-J-x. West would win with the
queen and return his last trump. Now
South would need to find the clubs
breaking 3-3. It was an awkward guess
that many got wrong, putting up the
spade king.
Nunes avoided the guess. After un-
blocking the heart ace, he cashed the
spade king before playing a spade to
dummy’s ace. When the 4-1 break was
revealed, he knew that, after taking
his discard, he had to lead a spade to-
ward the 10 and rely on a 3-3 club
break.

This splendid quality will be enhanced in
the year ahead and your circle of inti-
mates could be enlarged substantially.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
Spending more money than you should
today is no assurance that you’ll have a
good time. In fact, the very opposite
Could be true. Put limits on what you in-
tend to spend. Get a jump on life by un-
derstanding the influences which are
governing you in the year ahead. Send

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You
KIT ’N’ CARLYLE® by Larry Wright
flift CAUiR:
should do rather well in competitive sit-
uations today, but you must be ex-
tremely selective regarding the types of
tactics you employ to win.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) A friend
of yours might say something today that
could be misinterpreted. Before flying
off the handle, be certain you under-
stand his or her exact meaning.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Try not to
be too demanding of pals today if you
get involved in a joint adventure. Worry
more about your own contribution to
the problem than theirs.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Complica-
tions might arise today in an arrange-
ment that requires a team effort. Both
you and your partner will have to try to
accommodate one another through
compromise.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Move slow-
ly today in making adjustments that di-
rectly affect your career. Taking small
safe steps is better than making one big
blind leap.
GEMiN! (May 21-June 20) Some risks
could be involved today in matters you
manage or regulate for others. If your
approach is logical, the chance of mis-
haps can be minimized.
CANCER (June 21-Juiy 22) You and
your mate will have to watch your tem-
pers today if you are working on a col-
lective endeavor. Neither is likely to be
sold on the other’s input.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Though you
might find ample cause to criticize co-
workers today, it could prove unwise to
do so. Instead, look for small reasons to
praise them.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your proba-
bilities for personal gain are encourag-
ing today, but there is also a chance
that you might negate opportunities
through unwise action. Be prudent.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Your desire to
gratify your ambitious aims might cause
you to behave a trifle pushy today. Ob-
jectives can be reached easier if you are
less aggressive.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) In order to
shield your own interests today, you
might do things that others consider
seif-serving. If you want to insure your
rights, protect theirs.
