My Irish Rose

In the corner of the pub, I stand and raise my glass and ask the folks to drink a toast to my Irish Lass the one I left behind - the one with the Irish smile the one I left behind - the one with the Irish eyes so raise your glass and drink a toast to my Irish lass cause hope and dreams of love and life they all go by so fast

She said oh Jimmy please don’t go - you know I love you so I kissed her lips and held her tight she was my Irish rose then packed my bags with hopes and dreams and off to old New York and left her waving on the pier my rose of County Cork I said someday I would return and marry you, my lass but days and weeks turned into months as years went by so fast

I thought someday I would return with pockets full of gold but time has not been good to me I’m a penny short of poor it took me years to find my way back to County Cork to try and find my Irish lass but she had died the year before and on her stone the words they read - Jimmy boy I loved ya so I placed a flower on her grave - god bless my Irish Rose

CONTRACT BRIDGE — BY STEVE BECKER FOR RELEASE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 2023

Contract Bridge

Perfect defense

By Steve Becker

bid — declarer would have had clear sailing via a straight crossruff, losing two club tricks at the end.

As it was, the opening diamond lead made it impossible for South to ruff two hearts in dummy, so he had to seek an alternative route to 11 tricks. He won the first diamond in his hand and immediately led the jack of clubs, losing the finesse to East’s queen.

East recognized that if he returned a second diamond, he could prevent declarer from ruffing any hearts in dummy, but he was concerned with an even more imminent threat — dummy’s clubs. If declarer established that suit while the ace of spades remained as an entry to dummy, he could eventually discard his losing hearts on the good clubs.

Opening lead — two of diamonds.

This deal features picture-perfect defense by East-West, who collaborated beautifully to defeat a seemingly unassailable five-diamond contract.

North-South would have been much better off in three notrump, where nine top tricks were available, but they reached the diamond game as shown. West got the defense off to a good start by leading a trump. Had West instead led a spade — the suit his partner had

East therefore set his sights on dislodging dummy’s ace of spades before declarer could draw trump and establish the clubs. And to make sure that nothing went awry, East returned the spade king!

This proved to be just what the doctor ordered. No matter what declarer did from this point on, he could not avoid losing two more tricks, and he finished down one.

Note that if East had returned any card other than the king of spades at trick three, South would have had no trouble making the contract.

Tomorrow: Defusing a threat.
