His first two bids showed some type of strong hand. North’s two spades asked for clarification; South’s 2NT indicated a huge hand, balanced. When North transferred to hearts next, South jumped to game.West led a trump, and Oshlag looked for a way to avoid four losers. He won the first trick in dummy and led a spade: deuce, king, ace. West led a second trump, and declarer won, discarded a diamond from dummy on the queen of spades and ruffed his last spade in dummy.LOW CLUBOshlag next led the ace and jack of diamonds.

If declarer attacks the clubs without setting up the end play, he loses two clubs and goes down.Oshlag’s team didn’t gain on the deal. At ...

Since October 7, Samira has been in a state of constant angst. Watching the news of the Gaza Strip reduced to rubble has left her sad, paralyzed, and fearful for the fate of the 2.2 million Palestinians living in the besieged coastal enclave.
