Putnam earns ACBLservice award

Roger Putnam, one of ACBL’s most populartournament directors – with his peers as well aswith players – has been named as the 2008recipient of the Jane Johnson Award for

outstanding service.The award is

named in honor of thelate head of ACBL’sMember ServicesDepartment.

Earlier this year,Patty Taylor in MemberServices and DanaNorton in Educationreceived the Jane

Johnson Award given to Headquarters employees.Putnam has many friends and admirers in the

ACBL ranks.“Roger is a very good role model as a floor

TD,” said Rick Beye, ACBL’s chief tournamentdirector. “He knows how to talk to the players.When I first started out, I liked the way he workedand I wanted to be like him. When I worked onhis team I always learned something.”

Putnam, who lives in Redmond WA nearSeattle, worked his first tournament in 1967 andhas plied his trade at NABCs three times a yearsince 1969. He achieved national rank as a TD in1985.

“You have to be very lucky for your avocationto turn into your vocation,” he said, noting that heis going on part-time status as of the first of nextmonth. He and his wife, Margo, a former TDherself, plan to play more bridge and do sometraveling.

“I have always enjoyed playing and thechallenge of the game,” Putnam said.

National TD Patty Johnson remembers thehelp she received from Putnam when she firststarted as a TD. “He was one of those who wantedto help you make it,” she said. “He was alwaysmore interested in others than in himself.”

Matt Smith, of Victoria BC, has worked manytournaments with Putnam because they live in theNorthwest. “Roger is always up and helpful topeople – and he has always been that way,” Smithsaid.

Putnam said that his going on part-time statusdoesn’t mean NABC regulars have seen the last ofhim. He might still work at the big tournaments,or “I may show up to play.”

Twenty-eight teams began play online lastFebruary and now there is one. California Instituteof Technology is the 2008 Collegiate Champion.

The top eight teams from the onlinequalification round played here in a round robin.Harvard advanced to play Princeton, and Michiganplayed Cal Tech. Princeton and Cal Tech won theirmatches and played in the final in which Cal Techwon by a score of 144—25.

For the winning team, Roger Lee is a seniorwho is math and economics major; Chien Yao is aphysics A major from Taiwan; Hsi-Chun Liu is anelectrical engineering major from Taiwan; andCheng William Hong is a computer science majorfrom Singapore.

Dear New Players:By Marti Ronemus

Today I’m going totell you the True Storyof how I tried my levelbest to get arrested atthe Canadian border.

This was the yearthe NABC was held inToronto. What a greattournament! Greatbridge, great food, greatshopping. I was traveling with my friend, Tenna,and we had an especially good vacation, but alas, itwas time to leave.

You can tell how long we’ve been away fromhome by how much stuff is in the back seat of ourcar. We don’t believe in littering, so all trash istossed into the back seat. We had our specialpillows and a couple lap robes back there, as wellas assorted carry-ons, plunder from various shops,maps we couldn’t get back into their original folds,emergency food rations, bottles of water.

We were crossing back into the States atNiagara Falls, and there was a long wait to getthrough border crossing. At first, we didn’t mind,as the people-watching and activity level made itinteresting. Eventually though, we got bored andwanted some action. And we got it.

The car in front of us reached the guardstation. Something about it must have interestedthe guards, because they were tearing the car apart– dogs sniffing, stuff being taken out of the car,mirrors searching underneath. Wow – action.

Neato. Tenna and I felt like we were watchingMiami Vice. Those people had almost as muchstuff in their car as we did. Look! Blankets, trash,pillows and bags. Just like us! Ultimately, thepeople were allowed to drive off. Now it was ourturn.

We were excited, thinking the guards wouldclean out our car for us too! What a story to telleveryone at home this was gonna be!

The guard stuck his head in the car: “Business

or pleasure trip, ma’am?”as he looked us, ourpassports and the carcontents over. “Both.”With one final look, hesaid, “Okay, ma’am.Have a good day.”

“Wait! Don’t youwant to look under thatblanket? You didn’t askwhat was in all the bags!”

“It’s okay, ma’am,you can be on your way.”

I tried again, but theguard was having none ofit, and eventually he toldme he could tell I was nota criminal but that I was“just too boring. Nowplease move along.”

Boring? Did he sayboring? Obviously he hadnever seen me playbridge.

Why, just thatmorning I had gotten mypoor partner into a 6NTcontract, off two aces,thanks to my confusion about whether we playRoman Key Card Blackwood 1430 or 0314. Shemade it, too.

She had all the tricks except the two major-suitaces. Neither opponent had doubled, so she knewthe aces were split. Break number one, LHO didn’tlead her ace. My partner took the first trick and ledup to my seven-card heart suit on the board, toppedwith K-J-10-9, etc. Break number two, RHO didsome counting and realized she needed to hold upon her heart ace once. There were no other entriesto my wretched hand and she didn’t want mypartner to be able to run the suit.

On that first heart trick, LHO revoked! Breaknumber three! She played a low spade. My partnerrealized that if LHO had the spade ace, she couldmake her contract. Pard had the ♠K Q doubleton.LHO indeed had the ♠A, pard made one good,

never played hearts or spades again and madeseven.

Boring? Ha!

Opening lead: ♦Q.Bidding commentary: As North, your 2♥

response is natural and positive. Some play apositive response guarantees two of the top threehonors, a bit restrictive. Agreeing the trump suitat the three level (3♠) facilitates slam bidding.Also, two aces plus the queen of partner’s suitfacing any sane 2♣ opening should be more thanenough for slam. 4NT was Roman Keycard

Blackwood (RKB) and the 5♠ response showstwo keycards (the four aces and the trump kingare key cards) plus the ♠Q. A 5♥ response alsoshows two key cards but denies the ♠Q. AsSouth, though you can only count 12 sure tricks,heart establishment plus at worst the club finessemake bidding a grand slam odds on.

Play commentary: As South, in order toavoid the club finesse, you must try to set up atleast one of dummy’s hearts for a club discard.When setting up a long suit in dummy, keep asmany late entries to dummy as possible. Win the♦K and play the ♠A and ♠K, East discarding aclub or a diamond. Notice that the ♦A and the

♠Q remain as “late” dummy entries. Next, cashthe ♥K and play a heart to the ace, ruffing aheart with the ♠J in case West is out of hearts.He is! There is still one higher heart outstanding(you are counting hearts, of course). Not toworry, you have two dummy entries. Cross to the♠Q, drawing West’s last trump and ruff a heart.Don’t look now, but you have establisheddummy’s fifth heart for your 13th trick! Cross tothe ♦A and discard the ♣J on the long heart.Well done.

When setting up a long suit, use trumpentries before side-suit entries (♠Q before ♦A).

Poker players gambleon slam

Steve Zolotow and Phil Gordon are famouspoker players who are also good bridge players.The number 13 is considered unlucky by somegamblers, but not these two. They bid slam onboard 13 in the first qualifying session of the VonZedtwitz Life Master Pairs. The hands are rotated.

Pass 1♥2♣ 3♣ 3♠ 6♥All Pass

Gordon cuebid 3♣ to show a limit raise orbetter. Players who instead jumped to 4♥,preempted their partner. Over East’s 3♠ bid,Zolotow jumped directly to 6♥. He didn’t want tocuebid, reasoning that doing so would likely helpthe opponents with their opening lead.

Zolotow ruffed the ♣Q opening lead and drewtrumps. The contract was secure, but how to makean overtrick? Declarer went to the board with the♦K and led another, finessing the jack. This was ano-risk play; if the finesse lost, he could discard aspade loser from the board on his ♦A and stillmake six.

Bidding six and making seven was worth 19.5matchpoints. Bidding and making only six scored13.5

Just like ZiaSteve Nellison of Ramsey NJ was impressed

with his partner’s initial shot on this deal from theGrand National Teams, Flight A. “It was a Zialead,” said Nellison of the trick-one play by VictorHsu of Waldwick NJ.

1♣Pass 1♥ Pass 2♦Pass 3♣ Pass 3NTPass 4♦ Pass 4♠Pass 6♣ All Pass

Hsu listened to the bidding and selected the♠K for his opening shot. Declarer could still havemade the contract after ruffing a couple ofdiamonds in dummy and pulling trumps if he hadplayed spade to dummy’s 9, but the lead of the♠K gave declarer the impression that Hsu hadstarted with the ♠Q as well.

The job for the defense was not done evenwhen Nellison took the ♠J with the queen,however. A spade or diamond return would havesubjected Hsu to a major-suit squeeze. Nellisonwas up to the task, switching to his singleton heartto break up the squeeze and earn his side a usefulswing.

Qualifications for teams participating in theGrand National Teams Flights B and C wereearned in local-level events earlier this year.

Flight B winners will have their namesengraved on the Sheinwold Trophy while thenames of Flight C winners will be engraved on theMac Nab Trophy.

Alfred SheinwoldAlfred Sheinwold (1912-1997) was one of the

greatest bridge writers in the history of the game.He was inducted into the Bridge Hall of Fame in1996.

His syndicated bridge column was consideredby many to be the best —- he had a knack forgetting his point across to even the leastexperienced players. He managed this by makingsure that every column had only one main point,marking it easier for his readers to focus.

“You could read a Sheinwold column andknow in an instant that nobody else could havewritten it,” said Frank Stewart, co-author of thecolumn. “He enlightened and entertained playersthrough seven decades and earned millions offans.”

Sheinwold was an editor of The Bridge Worldfrom 1934 to 1963 and editor of The BridgeBulletin from 1953 to 1958. He was also theauthor of perhaps the most successful bridge bookever written, 5 Weeks to Winning Bridge, a bookthat sold in the millions.

Sheinwold served as chairman of the ACBLLaws Commission from 1964 to 1975, aschairman of the appeals committees at NABCsand as chairman of the ACBL Board of Governorsfrom 1970 to 1973. He was named ACBLHonorary Member of the Year in 1983.

Robin Mac NabRobin Mac Nab (1915-1985) served as a

member of the ACBL Board of Directors from1956 to 1981. He was ACBL president in 1965.He was a past president of the WesternConference, a member of the ACBL LawsCommission and a member of the executivecouncil of the World Bridge Federation.

Mac Nab, a graduate of Cornell University,was a member of the U.S. Olympic track and fieldsquad in 1936.

Pearls before swine?By Barry Rigal

We won’t name the East and West players, buthere is a tale of woe. You hold, as East,

♠ J 4♥ K 3♦ 10 9 5♣ A K 10 8 4 2

This is the auctionWest North East South

1♣ 1♦1♠ Pass 2♣ 2♥3♦ 3♥ 3NT Pass5♠ Pass ?

Assuming partner is sane, you can give him♠A K Q x x x x, the ♦A (he could not risk thefive level without it) and one more card. If youhad just a little more in clubs, you could bid 6NT.As it is, do you pass or bid slam?

Neither option is correct. The right call is 5NT,improving the contract but denying the ability to

bid slam. Partner will bid on with the ♣Q (orperhaps the ♦Q) and/or an eighth spade, right?

Wrong! Partner re-corrects 5NT to 6♠, down atrick, and that turns 25 out of 25 matchpoints to .5MPs. The full deal:

Dlr: North ♠ 8 6 5 3 Vul: None ♥ J 10 9 6 4

♦ 7 6♣ 9 5

♠ A K Q 10 9 7 2 ♠ J 4♥ Q 7 ♥ K 3♦ A 8 3 ♦ 10 9 5♣ 6 ♣ A K 10 8 4 2

♠ —-♥ A 8 5 2♦ K Q J 4 2♣ Q J 7 3

Yes, on a diamond lead 5NT looks precarious,but if you duck a diamond and South does notswitch to a club, you can run seven rounds ofspades and make plus 490 on a triple squeeze.

My apologies – double!Zia Mahmood is nothing if not a gentleman,

but he is also a competitor, and when theopponents got to a very bad contract against himin the first session of the Von Zedtwitz Life MasterPairs, he just had to express a bridge opinion. Thiswas the deal. Zia, playing with Gary Cohler, wasSouth.

Dlr: North ♠ 8 6 5 3 Vul: None ♥ J 10 9 6 4

♦ 7 6♣ 9 5

♠ A K Q 10 9 7 2 ♠ J 4♥ Q 7 ♥ K 3♦ A 8 3 ♦ 10 9 5♣ 6 ♣ A K 10 8 4 2

West North East SouthPass 1♣ 1♦

2♦ Pass 3♣ Pass3♠ Pass 4♣ Pass4NT Pass 5♥ Pass5NT Pass 6♦ Pass7♣ Pass Pass DblAll Pass

As you can see, the wheels came off early inthe auction. It was just one of those deals. As Ziamade his opening lead, he said, “Sorry, ladies.”

When the carnage was complete – declarerwas minus 1100 – Zia noted that had he beenplaying with film star and bridge aficionado OmarSharif, there would have been a reproof after theplay. “Omar thought it was bad manners to doublewhen you are winning the board anyway,” Ziasaid. “At matchpoints, though . . .”

Zia also recalled an occasion when he opposedSharif in the invitational tournament in Londonformerly sponsored by The Times newspaper.

At one point in the opponents’ auction, Ziamade a psychic double of a call by Sharif, leadingthe Egyptian to take the wrong line of play. Theresult was that Sharif went down in a contract hewould have made without Zia’s double.

Said Zia of his friend Sharif: “He didn’t speakto me for two years after that.”

Back to the LM Pairs.

On this deal, Zia made a bid many playerswould not find to earn his side another good score.

Dlr: East ♠ K J 6 2Vul: E-W ♥ 3

West North East SouthPass Pass

1♥ Dbl 2♥ 2♠3♥ All Pass

Cohler’s feather-light takeout double promptedZia to make the creative bid of 2♠ on his three-card suit, encouraging Cohler to make what wouldturn out to be the best opening lead for his side.

As you can see, the lead of a club or adiamond lead makes declarer’s task easy. AlthoughWest can always take nine tricks if he can see allthe cards, the spade lead from Cohler got thedefense off to the best start. Declarer ducked toZia’s queen, won the spade continuation with theace, then played a club to his king. West returnedto dummy with a heart to lead another club. Ziawon the ♣A perforce, put Cohler in with a thirdround of spades, then took a club ruff, getting outof his hand with the ♦9. Declarer had no choicebut to finesse, so he finished one down. Plus 100was good for 19.5 out of 25 matchpoints for Ziaand Cohler.

So, how does declarer make nine tricks evenafter a spade lead? He wins the ♠A, plays a clubfrom dummy, winning the king if South ducks.Declarer then plays to the ♥K, cashes the queenand takes the marked trump finesse. If Southcovers, West pulls the last trump and plays a lowclub from hand. If South does not cover the ♥10,declarer plays a diamond to the ace, cashes the ♥Aand plays a low club from hand. It’s easy whenyou can see all the cards.

The rewards of virtueBy Barry Rigal

Virtue is its own reward . . . but occasionallysomething more.

Dlr: South ♠ 3Vul: None ♥ A 10 7 6 4

♦ 7 6 5♣ J 5 3 2

♠ A Q J 10 ♠ K 9 7 6♥ Q 9 5 ♥ K J 8 2♦ J 10 8 3 ♦ K 9 2♣ Q 9 ♣ A 6

♠ 8 5 4 2♥ 3♦ A Q 4♣ K 10 8 7 4

The field played game with the East-Westcards, and frankly it’s tough to stay low whateveryou do.

Eric Leong as West elected to pass his 12-point hand on the logic that bidding bad suits inmarginal openings is a losing action.

North, trying to be the hero, opened 2♥. Thatwas passed back to Leong, who elected to double.East was pleased with the contract, so heconverted the balancing double to penalty and leda diamond. When declarer misguessed clubs, hewas minus 500, more than the value of the East-West game if it had been making.

On the next round, Leong was back on the hotseat.

Dlr: South ♠ A 10 7 6 3 2Vul: N-S ♥ J 5 3

♦ A 6 5♣ K

♠ K Q 9 5 4 ♠ 8♥ Q 6 ♥ A K 4♦ K 2 ♦ Q 8 7 4 3♣ Q 4 3 2 ♣ A 10 8 7

♠ J♥ 10 9 8 7 2♦ J 10 9♣ J 9 6 5

At favorable vulnerability, he might have beenthe only West to pass. He was more than rewardedwhen North opened 2♠. No one could blame him,but when a takeout double was converted topenalty again, the defense had plus 800 andanother top.

Gee, maybe passing has more to recommend itthat I thought.

(1) Diamonds and hearts.At our table, we stopped in 2♠, which was a

good idea because West, Dick Hanna, led hissingleton club. Declarer won in dummy to run the♠J. Dick now prevented his partner from error byimmediately underleading the ♥A. If he hadcashed the ace before leading a heart to the king,partner might shift to a diamond.

The underlead left Larry Hanna on lead, andhe knew what to do. A club return left declarerneeding to take the spade finesse to get back toplus 140.

MonitoringAt this and future North American

Championships, ACBL will be monitoringNABC+ events with visible, real-time cameras.The images will be recorded and will be availablefor later official inspection and review.

By general monitoring of the session andparticipants’ behavior, ACBL has another sourceof information that may be useful in determiningfacts and settling issues arising from some typesof ethical and behavioral complaints or actions.Please summon a director if a problem occurs atthe table.

This procedure is intended to assure everyonethat the playing field is level and that misbehaviorwill not be tolerated.

Bid Box Alerts andAnnouncements

When using bid boxes, ACBL suggests thatplayers tap the Alert strip and say “Alert” at thesame time.

When making an announcement, use theannouncement word —- such as “transfer” —- andtap the Alert strip at the same time.

A player who Alerts or announces a bidshould make sure his opponents are aware that anAlert or announcement has been made.

Pre-Alert/Disclosure forms

If your partnership plays special overcalls, youmust fill out a pre-Alert/Disclosure form and makeit available to your opponents when you play inevents that allow Mid-Chart and Super-Chartconventions.

This applies to NABC+, regional or higherknockout and Flight A Swiss games. Look for thelight blue forms on the table where conventioncards are available.

Las Vegas 2001: A look back

The Las Vegas tournaments are heavilyattended. The city holds the record for both Summerand Fall NABC attendance.

The highest count for a Fall NABC (and thefifth largest ever) was Las Vegas in 2001 with16,818 tables in play. The 1973 tournament was thefifth largest fall tournament.

The Summer Las Vegas tournaments, however,are the blockbusters. The all-time record for anNABC is 24,221 tables held here in 1991. The thirdlargest and fourth largest also took place here (1985with 19,827.5 and 1979 with 18,517.5). Any bets onthis year’s attendance setting another record?

Here’s a look back at some of the Las Vegasbridge deals through the years beginning with 2001.Some have been rotated for reading convenience.

Eddie Kantar supplied a quiz each day. Here’sthe first one:

West leads the ♠9. East overtakes with the 10and you ruff. Everyone follows to the ♦A. Nowwhat? Decide before reading on.

Here’s Kantar’s answer:Enter dummy with a club and lead a diamond to

the ♦J. If the finesse wins, the most you canpossibly lose is two heart tricks. If the finesse loses,you will be able to discard dummy’s hearts on yourclubs and ruff a heart in dummy.

The only way to lose the deal is to play off twotop trumps and then start clubs. East ruffs early andplays a heart, a most unhappy ending for you.
