Alfred Sheinwold, who founded this column as “Sheinwold on Bridge,” wrote wonderful columns challenging the reader to “find the criminal”: to discern who had erred. In some deals, it’s hard to find an innocent man.Today’s South opened one club, planning to bid spades twice. But North’s sequence — one diamond, then a jump to three — was invitational, and since South had only 11 high-card points and no tolerance for diamonds, he risked getting overboard if he bid a third time. Still, South stuck to his plan; he passed gratefully when North bid four spades.West led the jack of hearts, and South won and led a club to dummy’s king. East took the ace and led the king of hearts, and South ruffed and took the queen of clubs. He next tried to avoid an overruff on the third club by taking the A-K of trumps … and West discarded.South then ruffed a club with dummy’s last trump. East overruffed and led another heart, but Sou...Ask Amy: No one likes this woman, so why must the bride include her in the wedding?
