Goodwill MessageToday is Goodwill Day and my

co-chairs and I invite members ofthe National Goodwill Committeeto join us at a reception from 5 to 7p.m. in Ambassador 3 on Level 3.

We hope to see you there.Aileen Osofsky, ChairmanNational Goodwill Committee

Said moves past30,000 MPs

Grand Life Master Chuck Said has more than30,000 masterpoints, placing him number 13 onACBL’s all-time list. Said has won numerous NABCevents including the Senior Knockout Teams threetimes and the Silver Ribbon Pairs once. He also has

several second-placefinishes including theNorth AmericanPairs, earlier in thistournament.

Said came to theU.S. from Iran in thelate Fifties to go tocollege. He hadalways liked cardgames and learnedhow to play bridge in

a pickup game. When he moved to Ann Arbor MI,he watched students play and soon was invited tojoin when they needed a fourth.

“The first time I played, I passed a takeoutdouble and then I passed Blackwood,” said Said.After playing for a while, however, he steadilybegan to improve. “I started playing with the betterplayers such as Ron Gerard.”

Eventually he improved enough to beginteaching bridge. “I taught through an AdultEducation Program at the University of Michigan,”said Said. “The director of the program offered tosponsor me so I could get a green card.” Thiseventually allowed Said to became an Americancitizen.

Said began to play full-time. “Back then thereweren’t that many full-time players,” said Said.“There was Paul Soloway, Jim Jacoby, J. DavidKing, Gaylor Kasle, and that was about it,” he said.Several of his partners were in the South, and Saideventually moved to Nashville TN, where he nowlives.

Smoking noticeAll Marriott hotels, which include Renaissance

properties, are smoke-free. Smoking is not permittedinside these hotels, including theguest rooms.

Players are reminded thatpenalties may apply for smoking inunauthorized areas, includingstairwells and emergency exits.

Motown ain’t justabout music andautomobiles. SoutheasternMichigan is not the maven-haven South Florida hasbecome in the bridgeworld, but it has alwaysprovided a steady streamof incipient and establishedstars. It is entirelyappropriate that the firstregional event of the

Detroit NABC is dedicated to two much loved, butvirtually unknown (on the national level) formerlocal stars, Dick Lawrence and Art Price. They werethe friendly faces, not just of Ann Arbor bridge(where they lived), but of the entire area.

In spite of the fact that Iwas missing from the bridgescene for some 15 years, I hadthe good fortune to come toknow and appreciate both ofthese gentle souls. While U ofM students, housemate HerbLavine and I spent many apleasant evening of dinner and

bridge with the Lawrences. Both they and Art tookan active interest in the students who played bridge.

Included among the names of those who cuttheir bridge teeth in Detroit and environs are someof the great bridge names of all time. Just off the topof my head, among the deceased (besides Art andDick), are such names as: Barry Crane, Cliff and JimBishop, Russell Roosen. Sylvia Stein, Vince andJoan Remey, Helen Sobel (Smith), Irv Deuter, Bud

Smith, Carol (Mrs. John) Crawford, Floyd Sayed,Dick Huggard, Bob Hardies and Marty Cohn. Livinghere afforded me the pleasure of playing with all ofthem, in Michigan and since retreating to Florida.

Still active but spread tothe winds are such stalwarts asFreddie Hamilton, HelenShanbrom, Steve Landen, LynnSchaeffer, PratapRajadhyaksha, Judi Radin,Jacqui Mitchell, PetraHamman, Amalya Kearse,Howard Weinstein, Larry Mori,

Chuck Said, Jeff Starr, Harvey Brody, WynnAllegaert, Gene Davidson, Ed Simons, LindaPerlman, Steve Shane, Dorsey and Zerene Brooks

and more. Still around are Chuck

Burger and his Grand Nationalchampionship team (HowardPerlman, Perry Johnson andMichael Zerbini), Allan Falk,Marty Hirschman, BillArlinghaus and Phil Leon,along with the recent winners

of several national events, plus a whole new groupof future stars, one of the best “random fields” in thecountry, and an amazing array of highly competentregular husband and wife partnerships, includingBurger and wife Suzy, Bert and Kathy Newman,Myles and Marilyn Maddox, Gene and Chris Owens,Gordon and Susan Parnes.

I’m sure I could produce many more, but youget the idea. Welcome to Motown: Cradle of manypast and future stars!

Matchpoint playsBy Barry Rigal

This deal (from the first final session of theSilodor Open Pairs) would be very dull in 4♠ atteams: You’d claim 10 tricks and move on. But atpairs, how would you play 4♠ by South (1♦-1♠;2NT-4♠) on the lead of the ♥Q?

♠ 7 5♥ A K 4♦ A J 9 7 4 2♣ A J

♠ A 3 2 ♠ 8♥ Q J 10 7 3 ♥ 9 8 5 2♦ K 8 5 ♦ Q 3♣ 4 2 ♣ K Q 10 9 8 3

♠ K Q J 10 9 6 4♥ 6♦ 10 6♣ 7 6 5

You need to try to set up diamonds or ruff a club,but your chances of doing either may not seem good.In fact, you need a miracle in diamonds or a singleton♠8 or ♠A. You cash the ♥A K to pitch a diamond,then play the ♦A and ruff a diamond before ducking aclub. The best East can do is shift to a trump, andWest can win and return a trump. The ♠7 in dummylets declarer win and ruff a diamond, draw the lasttrump and use the ♣A as the entry for the establisheddiamonds.

An initial club lead sets 5♠; declarer ducks andthe defense shifts to trumps, playing two rounds of thesuit to remove an entry to dummy prematurely.

JUST FOR NEW PLAYERS

The first two-suited bid many of us learn isthe jump to four of a major after partner hasopened 1♥ or 1♠. This bid promises more thanjust five-card support. It also has a singleton orvoid and another source of tricks.

Say partner opens 1♠ and you hold♠A 9 8 7 2 ♥7 5 3 ♦K 8 3 ♣9 2.

A meek 2♠ raise is more than enough. Change the hand to♠A 9 8 7 2 ♥7 ♦K 9 8 7 3 ♣9 2,however, and the trick-taking potential zoomsupward because of the side five-card suit.

A lusty jump to 4♠ is in order.Two-suited hands present bidding challenges,

but they are also exciting with lots of potential fortaking tricks. If partner doesn’t have a fit for yourfirst suit, you have an alternative to offer. Ifpartner does support your first suit, you haveanother source of tricks. Be optimistic andaggressive in your bidding.

Suppose you hold:♠K J 9 4 2 ♥6 ♦A Q 9 8 7 ♣K 2.

You have only 13 high-card points, but ifpartner raises your 1♠ opening to 2♠, try game inspades. The odds are excellent that you’ll be ableto develop 10 tricks.

When you use the Rule of 20, you arerecognizing the strength of a two-suited hand.There is no point, by the way, in trying to use thisevaluation method with one-suited hands. It’s apoor tool for that purpose. A little common sensenever hurts, though. Compare this hand:♠K J 9 4 2 ♥6 ♦A Q 9 8 7 ♣8 2

with♠J 9 7 4 2 ♥K ♦9 8 7 5 4 ♣A Q.

Clearly, it’s better to open the first hand thanthe second one, though they have the same patternand high cards. There is a guideline for these casescalled in-and-out valuation. You want the highcards in a Rule of 20 hand to be in the long suits.If you have 12 or 13 HCP, you’d probably openno matter where the points are, but a little self-preservation never hurts when you are consideringopening a hand with fewer than 12 HCP.

If the opponents open, there are a variety of

strategiesfor showing5–5 hands.One of themostpopular isthe unusualnotrump,usually ajump, toshow 5–5in theminor suits (over a major suit) or, forsome partnerships, 5–5 in the twolowest unbid suits if the opponent hasopened a minor.

In fourth seat, if the opponentshave opened 1♦ and there has been a1♥ response, the unusual notrumpwould be used to show the unbidsuits — clubs and spade in this case.If the opponent opens 1NT and youovercall 2NT, what could be moreunusual? You have 5–5 in the minors.The unusual notrump is familiarenough to most players that it doesnot require an Alert.

The Michaels cuebid also showsa 5–5 hand. Over a minor-suitopening, the cuebid promises bothmajors. Over a major-suit opening,you promise the other major and aminor. If partner wants to knowwhich minor you have, 2NT is themost common way to ask. Michaelsdoes not require an Alert.

Some partnerships use two-suitedbids with all point count ranges, but amore popular approach is to restrict them to twobidding situations: With very weak hands, say whenyou are not vulnerable and the opponents are, orwith superior hands of 16 or more points. Look atthe following two hands:♠K 9 7 5 2 ♥Q J 10 9 6 ♦4 ♣3 2,

and

♠A Q J 7 2 ♥K Q J 9 6 ♦A ♣3 2.You would use the Michaels cuebid over 1♣

with either hand, and pass whatever partner bidswith the first, but at least raise his major-suitpreference with the second.

Opening lead: ♥K.Bidding commentary: After North cuebids

the ♥A, South decides to give up on a grand slamas it is tough to discover if partner has both blackqueens.

Defensive commentary: In spite of the heartcuebid, East’s powerful heart sequence warrants aheart lead.

Play commentary: With a certain club loser,South needs to find East with the ♠Q, so the ♠J isled from dummy at trick two.

Defensive commentary #2: As East in secondseat, do not cover the jack! When dummy has twoequal honors, cover the second equal, not the first.Notice the difference. If the jack is covered, declarerwins, crosses back to the 10, sees West show outand leads a low spade to the 8. You take zero spade

tricks. If you duck the jack, but cover the 10,declarer wins, partner shows out, but declarercannot get back to dummy to finesse you out ofyour ♠9 4. Success! You wind up with a spadeand a club trick.

As second hand, when dummy has a numberof equal honors, cover the last equal. This is animportant defensive principle.

Taking advantage ofopportunities

Robert Lebi and Dan Jacob won the four-sessionSilodor Open Pairs that ended Saturday evening.They earned almost al the matchpoints on this deal(rotated) from the second final session, when Jacobtook full advantage of the opponents’ bidding tomake a lead-directing double for Lebi:

The double, of course, asked for the lead ofdummy’s first suit, hearts. Lebi obediently led the♥9, and the defense soon scored two hearts tricksand a heart ruff. Although careful play will allowdeclarer to escape for down one, declarer droppedanother trick late in the play. That, along with the♣A, left declarer down two.

Plus 300 was good for 76.5 out of a possible 77matchpoints for the winners.

Virtue is its own rewardBy Barry Rigal

This deal (rotated) is from the first final sessionof the Silodor Open Pairs.

Dlr: South ♠ A 9 2Vul: E-W ♥ A 4 3

♦ A Q 9 7♣ 10 6 4

♠ Q J 8 6 4 3 ♠ K 10 7 5♥ J 8 5 ♥ 10 7 6♦ J 3 ♦ K 10 4 2♣ K 5 ♣ A 8

♠ — ♥ K Q 9 2♦ 8 6 5♣ Q J 9 7 3 2

If North-South were left to their own devices, itis not easy for them to reach their optimal spot,which is a club partscore. There is nothing wrongwith 5♣, except that it doesn’t make!

But where West opens an undisciplined (feelfree to substitute your own adjective!) weak two-bid, the auction might very well go Pass-2♠-Dbl-3♠; 4♥-All Pass. How should you play 4♥ on thelad of the ♠Q?

Clearly, you need 3-3 trumps, so win the ♠A,pitching a diamond, and knock out a club honor.Ruff the spade return and knock out the other clubhonor. When a spade comes back, ruff, cash the ♥K Q, cross to the ♦A, play the master trump andtake the rest. (If you want to protect yourself a little,you can pitch a diamond on the third spade. Thatholds you to 10 tricks.)

As a separate issue, how should you play 4♥ onthe lead of the ♦J? If you take the ace, you mustimmediately cash the ♠A to pitch a diamond, butthen the defenders can tap you out successfully. If,however, you cover the ♦J with the queen, you stillhave the communication to set up the clubs.

From Dr. Brenda Fortunate and Ed WhiteEd: Brenda, I think you should be recognized as

representative of the thousands of part-time bridgeplayers who juggle work, family, etc., and still havetime left over for bridge. Tom Gardner sponsored youon the ACBL Goodwill Committee and our unit justgave you our annual Goodwill Award, but this “award”is from me.

Brenda: During the last weeks of medical school,the wife of a patient asked me two unexpectedquestions: Do I play bridge and would I play in a clubgame with her. Her husband was very ill and wouldnever leave the hospital. My head told me I needed tostudy, but my heart told me to say yes. Not havingplayed in almost 10 years, that weekend I bought ahow-to-play-bridge book and turned up at the game aspromised. In retrospect, the decision to play had aprofound influence on the rest of my life. That night, Imet my future husband (Ed) and many people whohave become dear friends.

Ed: I had just gotten divorced and spent all myfree time playing bridge. Some weeks after Brenda’sfirst game, my regular partner cancelled. Brendashowed up without a partner as well. The director,Gordon Parnes, said “Ed, you play with Brenda.” I notonly “called” Gordon, but “raised” him quite a bit andeventually married Brenda.

Both: Many thanks to the great group of Michiganbridge players, friends and competitors always.

The Kalamazoo Bridge Center, located at 648Maple Hill Drive in Kalamazoo MI, opened its doorsfour years ago. We have six games a week, two ofwhich are Non-Life Master games. We have lots ofspecial events and parties and we play bridge – lots ofbridge. Check out our web site atwww.kzoobridge.com and come visit us the next timeyou are in southwestern Michigan.

We also invite you to play in the KalamazooSectional, May 30 to June1, at the County

Fairgrounds. This year promises to be even better thanbefore as we will be moving into a larger room for allthree days. And don’t forget the fantastic pig roastbetween sessions on Sunday. To complement the pigroast, our great Kalamazoo cooks serve up some of thebest side dishes and desserts that you can imagine.There will be plenty of food and bridge to go aroundfor all three days for players of all skill levels.Tournament flyers are available on the ACBLweb site and the District 12 web site atwww.district12bridge.org. Copies are also available at the Information Desk.

Dr. Max Parker was one of the leading players inthe Detroit area. He loved and respected the game ofbridge. His interest was two-fold: First, the personalchallenge of solving bridge problems, and second, theability to inspire players to become members of theACBL. Sponsored by his wife, Evelyn Parker.

Our parents, Donald and Betty Carr, were bothLife Masters and avid bridge players. Their love ofbridge took them across the United States playing inregional and national tournaments. They played in allof the sectionals run by Unit 200 and helped promoteand bring new players to the game. As we, theirchildren, became adults, we would often celebrate theEaster holiday at their favorite regional in Toronto. Aswe look back on their lives, we realize that their loveof the game kept them active, invigorated and mentallyalert. The stories of their bridge escapades continue tobring those in their bridge community many fondmemories. It is in their memory that we dedicate thisevent at the Compuware Detroit NABC. May all ofyou enjoy the game as much as they did.
