Two poor risks?
Choose neither
By James Jacoby
It is true that good players can fre-
quently sniff out the winning finesse,
when there is a choice. But what can
you do when there is no winning fi-
nesse? Willy Nilly, today’s declarer,
held up on two rounds of spades, final-
ly won the ace and played five rounds
of diamonds, throwing a heart from
his hand. Meanwhile West, who bad
two discards to make, let go a heart
and a club. Give West credit — he
managed to blank his club king non-
chalantly. So Willy Nilly played the 10
of clubs from dummy and finessed.
West won the king and took two more
spades to set the hand.
Careful Charlie would have done
better. He knows that if you are given
a choice of finesses, the best thing is to
let your opponents play for you. So
Charlie would have taken the second
spade. He would then have cashed ex-
actly three diamonds, keeping an en-
try to dummy in the suit, and then
have played a spade. West would then
club, but then West would have to lead
away from one of his kings. That
would give Careful Charlie nine tricks,
and he could save his finesses forian-
other deal.
