DAILY BRIDGE CLUB:
Surveys found that the most popular name for boats is “Obsession.” That also applies to some players’ view of drawing trumps.
At today’s four spades, South took the ace of hearts and tried to draw trumps with the A-K. When West discarded, South led the A-K and a third diamond. East took his jack and returned a heart.
South won but had no dummy entry to pitch his last heart on the high 10 of diamonds. When he led a club to the king, East won, took his high trump and led a heart to West’s jack.
