Not Impossible. yyALTER MALOWAN, secretary of the Regency Club in New York, is noted for his bidding optimism, and nothing gives him greater pleasure than to reach an "Impassible" con tract and then fulfill it by means of brilliantly daring play plus a few favorable breaks. North, dealer. Both sides vulnerable. 4 7 6 VKJH ♦ A 5 4 4AKQ10 4 K 10 8 2 4 A ¥7 4 . ¥ 10 6 5 ♦ 10 9 8 _.a ♦ J 7 6 J 43 6 5 * 49842 4 Q J 9 5 4 8 ¥ A Q 8 2 ♦ K Q 4 7 Mr. Malowan. The bidding: North East South West 1 4 Pass 1 A Pass 2 NT Pass 3 ¥ Pass 4 ¥ Pass 6¥ Pass Pass Pass Looking over the North and South hands, it Is obvious that the slam should not be bid since North and South have two losing spade tricks about which apparently nothing can be done. Also, while Mr. Malowan’* jump to six hearts was a slight over bid, we do feel that his partner is somewhat to blame. If we had held the North hand, we would definitely not have bid two no trump on the sec ond round, but instead would have contented ourselves with a bid of two hearts. As it was. Mr. Malowan figured from the two no-trump bid that his partner would surely hold either the ace or king of spades. West opened the 10 of diamonds. Mr. Malowan, after winning with the queen, looked over dummy. Instead of giving up, he decided to see what he could do. Obviously there was no place to put the two spades in dummy, and he started to see what could be done with the six in his own hand. One could go on the ace of diamonds, two more on high clubs, and a fourth on the 10 if the club finesse should be successful. This would still leave him two spades in his own hand, but maybe an elimination .play would aIIah. 4 ~ ...» J j:_i a cordingly, Instead of giving up and accepting down one, Mr. Malowan went about malting his contract in the following manner: First, three rounds of hearts ex hausted the opponents’ trumps. Then Mr. Malowan cashed the king of dia monds in his own hand, led a club, finessed the 10 and discarded three spades on the ace, king, queen of clubs and a fourth on the ace of dia monds. He then led one of the low spades from dummy. The unfortunate East player won with his singleton ace and was now forced to lead a diamond, whereupon Mr. Malowan dis carded the one remaining spade in his own hand and trumped in dummy, thereby making his contract.
