02:57:50 Lynn Chapin: TONIGHT'S LESSON HANDS 03:01:38 Lynn Chapin: If West does not split the honors, NS will get an undeserved diamond trick and make the contract. 03:06:56 Lynn Chapin: There is no outside entry to the Dummy! The diamonds are dead! 03:09:26 Lynn Chapin: When you are west, and you're looking at the dummy behind you, you need to realize that if you split them, you will give declarer a free finesse! Declarer just has to duck the first split, let West win it, and next time South plays a diamond and has a free finesse! They know where the King is so they've got you trapped in front of the A-10. They'll make all those diamonds! 03:11:01 Lin Saffer: NOT easy at all 03:11:58 Lynn Chapin: THESE are tonight's lesson hands. Download from here :) 03:16:29 Lynn Chapin: NEXT WEEK - NO GAMES THANSKGIVING WEEK! Then on 11/28 and 11/30, we're going over VERY STRONG hands that would open 2 Clubs! 03:18:28 Lynn Chapin: 🤓 NICE JOB, JUDI! 03:19:45 Lynn Chapin: Passed hands have created the opportunity for opener to PASS when you change suits. Show the fit if you've already passed! When you're a passed hand, a new suit by responder IS NOT forcing. Yikes! 03:20:22 Lynn Chapin: This is the archive where you can find all the videos and all the Community Game lessons: https://www.acbl.org/portfolio/community-games/ 03:20:28 Lynn Chapin: SMOLEN 03:20:41 Lynn Chapin: Google it :) 03:21:05 Lynn Chapin: Bookmark this link to the FREE LESSON: https://acbl-org.zoom.us/j/2364960804?pwd=a3QrbW9EMmhLdWE5ZkM5QXArVzQvUT09 03:21:27 Lynn Chapin: You can check out tonight’s results on Live for Clubs: https://my.acbl.org/club-results/909994 03:21:31 Lynn Chapin: SMOLEN 03:22:24 Lynn Chapin: When you overcall in a suit, and you don't get the contract, partner is going to lead your suit.
