From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There were interesting possibilities in Three No-trumps on this deal from match play. One declarer got home legitimately, the other only after a defensive slip.
South upgraded his hand to a Two Club opening and rebid Two No-trumps over the negative response of Two Diamonds. North raised to game and West led the nine of hearts against Three No-trumps, which declarer won.
So far the bidding and play had been the same, but now came a divergence. With only one sure entry to dummy, there was little point in using it to play spades for, most of the time, this wouldn't be enough to yield three tricks in the suit even if the queen were well placed. One South led the king of spades from hand at trick two; West slipped up when he took his ace and continued hearts. Now the 10 and nine of spades provided an extra entry to the table, and the favourable club position allowed declarer to take four tricks in the suit with the aid of a finesse. It would have been a different story if West had allowed the king of spades to hold.
The other South led the seven of spades at trick two. If West plays low, an extra entry to dummy could now be forced. Possibly suspecting that South held ]KQJ7, West went in with the ace and continued hearts. Declarer won (blocking the suit) and ran the jack of clubs. East won and cashed the queen of hearts, but declarer now had three club tricks and three tricks in spades, with the aid of the now marked finesse, to give him his contract.
