(The prof says that people who can’t distinguish between “entomology” and “etymology” bug him in ways for which he can’t find words.) The other is partners who bid whenever it’s their turn.In today’s deal, South played at five hearts doubled.

He took the A-K of clubs, led a trump to dummy, ruffed a club and drew trumps.MAKING FIVESouth next led the king of diamonds. West won and had only diamonds left. South won the diamond return with his ten and claimed the rest. Making five.“I guess his bid of two diamonds was meant to help me defend,” the prof grumbled to me. “Instead, he told declarer how to play the hand.”South surely goes down if West doesn’t bid. Do you thin...
