While the recent Unit 106 tournament in Secaucus was successful in many ways, the attendance was disappointing; we hope it will be better attended next year. I would like to thank all the people who volunteered to man the Hospitality and Pairings desks at the tournament, as well as those who took on responsibilities during the week - Ruth Bernstein handled the caddies and Harris and Caryll Schenker were in charge of the Hospitality Suite. I learned during that week how hard the people in the background work to make our regionals run as smoothly as they do. Joan Gerard, our own Jerry Goodman, and Steve Arshan are constantly on top of everything that goes on. They deserve our thanks for all their hard work.
Because I consider the encouragement and support of new players to be among my very highest priorities as President, I was particularly pleased with the enthusiastic response to the Caddy Bridge Program. Their "tournament within our tournament" was well attended and created a great deal of excitement among the young people involved. Watch for coverage of that event in the bulletin.
Another special honor for Unit 106 was being allowed to choose the recipient of the $500 gift which had been allocated to District 3 by the ACBL Charity Foundation. The check was presented to ARC of Bergen/Passaic Counties. Many of you know Burrell and Joy Humphreys, their bridge playing son Bruce, and their daughter Gay who was chosen as citizen of the year by ARC. Gay is developmentally challenged, but has overcome many obstacles to work full time and to live independently. She is also involved in many sports activities. She and her family are an inspiration to us all, and we were indeed happy to recognize them with this gift.
This Fall we have a full schedule of special events. Most of them are highlighted in the newsletter, so please pay special attention to the articles and notices about the Regional in Kerhonkson, N. Y., our Pro-Am event on Saturday, October 28 (a favorite of all who are involved), our next Sectional at Guardian Angel in November, and our Annual Dinner on December 3.
Of particular interest are the changes in our November 17-19 tournament. We are changing the stratifications for all events; planning a free breakfast, lecture and abbreviated game for novices on Saturday morning at 9:30; making the IMP pairs game on Saturday a stratiflighted event, and changing the format for the Sunday team game. On Sunday we will begin at 12:00 noon, food will be put out before the game starts so that people can eat whenever they like (there will be plenty), and we will have a playthrough consisting of 7 rounds of 7 boards each. We hope this new format will eliminate the parking problems as well as making for an early finish. We would appreciate feedback on this, as we are always interested in improving wherever we can.
Soon you will receive a ballot for the election of new officers for Unit 106. The votes will be counted and reported on to the membership at the Annual Dinner. December 3, will be a special night for our Unit. It is the time we can thank the retiring board members for a job well done, and we can give the new board members a rousing cheer for being willing to keep this game we love alive and well. I look forward to seeing you at the table.

IN MEMORY OF RICHARD NAUGLE
Richard was an avid Bridge Player, an excellent Director and player; but above all a very fine person. Richard was one of the owners of the Suburban Bridge Club in Teaneck in the 1960's. He became the co-owner, along with his wife, Serry and Leonard karp, of the Bergen Bridge Center when it was started in 1971. He and Serry also directed and taught at Alpine and Knickerbocker Country Clubs. Always a gentleman, he directed with courtesy and understanding while enforcing the rules of the wonderful game of Bridge. He and Serry directed and taught Bridge on land and sea, directing on many cruises. They sailed around the world on the QE2 three times, teaching and directing. With all that he gave to local Bridge, we must be ever grateful. However the qualities that must be remembered most are his kindness, his humor and his intelligence

Good Sportmanship Paul Nickerson
To the Editor:
I want to take this opportunity to give praise to a gentleman bridge player who recently made a fine show of sportsmanship.
My knockout team was scheduled to play a match against the team captained by Julian Lighton, and one of our teammates was delayed due to car problems. We didn't learn of this difficulty until several minutes after game time, but Julian waived his right to penalty IMPs for the delay. When my teammate's appearance was more than half an hour late, I felt we were imposing too much on our opponents who should not be asked to wait interminably. I offered to start the match at one table and forfeit the match if she did not arrive at the conclusion of six boards. In deference to his teammates, Julian accepted regrettably. His words were, "We came here to play a bridge match, not witness a forfeit. We like to play bridge, and that's what we want to do, even with a delay."
The match began 40 minutes late, and our team defeated the Lighton team, but I admire his team because they are the real winners. They can hold their heads high and know that sometimes a Pyretic victory lasts far longer in our
memory than the results of a minor battle.

TIPS FOR NEW PLAYERS Barkley Calkins
We are all taught from our earliest days at the bridge table that when declaring in a suit contract, it is important to draw opponents trumps to prevent them from winning tricks by ruffing. As with all general rules, however, there are exceptions; being aware of situations in which it is essential to delay drawing trumps will improve your results.
It is often essential to delay drawing trumps when dummy's trumps are needed to ruff losers from your own hand. Consider the following with South declaring an aggressive four spades:
North
S Q7
H 7
D 96432
C A8542
East West
S 92 S 843
H KQJ10 H 9852
D K105 D AJ8C
C 10976 C KQJ
South
S AKJ1065
H A643
D Q7
C 3
After the opening lead of the heart king, BEFORE PLAYING TO THE FIRST TRICK, South follows the general rule for planning the play of the hand in a suit contract by counting potential losers in his own hand, one spade, three hearts, two diamonds and one club. He then looks to dummy and notes that the queen of spades and ace of clubs will take care of the potential losers in those suits; however, three heart and two diamond losers remain, two too many.
If declarer mindlessly bows to his early training and promptly draws trumps -- "to keep opponents from winning tricks by ruffing" -- he will indeed go down two. However, if he notes the heart shortness in dummy, the key to making the hand becomes clear. Declarer should win the ace of hearts and immediately lead a heart to ruff in dummy, play ace of clubs and ruff a club -- the only way to return to hand WITHOUT LEADING A TRUMP -- play a second heart to ruff, and ruff another club to return to hand. Only now, having used both of dummy's trumps to ruff losers from his hand, is he finally ready to draw opponents trumps, and concede one heart and two diamonds, four spades bid and made.
While leaving opponents trumps out did put declarer at risk of being overruffed, the key points are 1) those heart ruffs in dummy were essential to making the hand, and 2) would not have been possible had trumps been drawn.
MORAL -- Delay drawing trumps when you need to use dummy's trumps to ruff losers from your hand.

Pro-Am Announced
While attendance was well below expectation, our other programs were a great success. Sixteen people took the Directors' course, twelve people became EasyBridge! presenters and best of all, 12 caddies learned to play bridge and had a great time. We do have a contract to return in August of '01 but I'm sure it will be difficult to convince the hotel that we should return after that. It's hard to believe that such a spectacular location would yield under 1,500 tables over the six days.
One of my appointments to the National Goodwill Committee for 2000 was Ruth Bernstein. This is an honorary committee that I am pleased to be able to make several appointments to each year. I try to select those people who have given their time and service to bridge with love and devotion. Ruth surely has done that and more. I also want to thank Paul Nickerson for all the work he has done for bridge, both in your unit and District 3. I understand that Paul will not be running for the unit 106 board after many years of service and we can be sure that his pleasant attitude and willingness to be of help will be sorely missed.
I hope many of you will be spending a day or two at our October Regional at the Hudson Valley Resort and Spa in Kerhonkson. This is the former Granite Hotel all redone and elegant. We promise great playing conditions, beautiful sleeping rooms. great fall foliage and lots of MP's. Check out the amenities by clicking on District 3's website and linking to the hotel's site. It's a great place to plan a few days vacation.Many things happened at our recent Board meetings in Anaheim including a dues increase effective January 1, 2001 of $2 but $32 is still an inexpensive membership fee for amagazine every month and the recording of masterpoints.
Enjoy the Fall season, make sure you play a lot of bridge. It's still the best leisure time activity of all!

The New Industrial Revolution and Us
Arnie Bergen
Remember how many "dot-com" companies advertised during the Super Bowl this year? How many of those do you recall? What has invoked a greater change in the worlds of investment, communication, education, and even games, especially ours. More than a third of all Americans have access to the Internet at home or work. Yet Americans now make up about half of all the world's surfers.
As bridge players we have had to learn new words and new meanings, for familiar words. How many of us have bought new computers or upgraded from long unused computers merely to access the wealth that is there, mostly for no additional cost.
Look how much we, as bridge players, have benefited. We have competing businesses offering us bridge games online, including the moderate fee based Okbridge.com, and the free services, including Microsoft Game Zone, zone.com/bridge, e-bridgemaster.com., and winbridge.com. Some of the games award master points. When we travel, we can check for better airline prices at places such as: thetrip.com, Travelocity.com, lowestfares. com, expedia.com, or even offer our own price to Priceline.com. We can get free road maps and travel directions from mapquest.com and even find directions and phone numbers to our favorite restaurants. Just about every major restaurant chain has a web site with locations and the number of miles from any point the in the country. Whatever you want, just try typing www.
Many of these businesses that started out as "search engines" now offer far more in an effort to be your "home page," Since many of us are past the age of gainful employment managing our assets becomes more important. Hence, it's nice that almost all of the home pages will have the latest quote for your stocks, mutual funds, etc., along with the weather, horoscope, etc. when you go online.
Our national organization has its own web site, acbl.org that offers numerous services. These include access to your master point total, the purchase of books and software, obtaining the latest version of the software that makes scoring so easy, ACBL Score, schedules of forthcoming events and results from recently completed events. Also included are links to several places where we can play online, and most of these are free!. These services are provided by paid personnel, but there is one important difference: advertising dollars do not drive them to give more, or to faster, for they are a monopoly.
While most districts have their own web sites, and many units provide separate sites with additional services there is a yet another difference from all those sites mentioned above, for their services are largely provided by volunteers. They live within the area and are often Board members.but they do provide services that we can get nowhere else.
Unit 106's web site, www.bridge-njba.org. has provided the usual mix of local club schedules, addresses, sectional tournament information, and the names of those who've done well in recent events To avoid disputes there are also conditions of contest and recorder forms. The e-mail addresses and positions of all board members as well as the minutes of the board and recorder forms. There is even a place for members to voice their opinion and a bidding situation where more than 20 accomplished local players are polled and some of their opinions published.
The ability to go right home after a local event and get all kinds of results the next morning is perhaps the most used feature of unit and district web sites. The directors for our unit sectional events, Bob Johnke, and GNOP events have been very cooperative, and all kinds of results, including the much requested recaps from each section of our unit's match point events is often posted less then a day after the event ends. Regional events require the processing of a lot more data, so often only overalls are placed on the district web site. Now that District 3 has gotten its own laptop that situation may change, with the webmaster (the person managing the site) posting each days' results by the morning of the next day. At present this still requires the additional work of directors, board members and the local webmaster. Many would like the desired information to appear more often and quicker then it has. It will be interesting to see if and/or how our bridge organizations address the issue of "timely" information in the years ahead.
A few of these volunteers have played prominent roles over the last three years to bring you the information to your District and Unit web sites. There are the other members of Unit 106's original web committee, Dr. Gerald Goodman, Paul Nickerson and Tod Thorgersen. Jo Ann and Neale Van Delft and Rachel Prior for being there and providing timely information, Betty Price for sending all her info, the person who first initiated the idea for a Unit site, Laura Brown, directors Sol Weinstein and Susan Patricelli for getting us Regional, Sectional, and STaC results, and, District President Joan Gerard. Special praise should go to John Kinn, Unit 186's Webmaster, for creating and diligently maintaining a calendar of events throughout our District. A link to his calendar can be found on the District 3 web site,. www.bridge-district3.org.
So what do we get? Just about everything faster and cheaper with the power to organize, be more efficient, and accomplish a lot more then we ever had. What could we use - even faster Internet connections and perhaps more help and cooperation from those who provide the information and services we want. The mentioning of any site should not be construed as an indorsement, for though many are among the most popular, they are merely examples.

This just happened to be a hand where the pair who broke the rules
earned the majority of the matchpoints.
Back to newsletter index
The following deal from the final session helped the Friedman team secure the victory. As south, I ended in 7D (I always try to sit south so Truscott does not have to rearrange the hands for the paper). As my partner, Julian Schulman, and I play it, the 3NT rebid shows about 18 to 20 HCP and a solid running minor suit. Since Julian was looking at the jack of diamonds, he "knew" I must have seven of them and, therefore, blasted to the grand slam.
However, on reflection I realized that the percentage play for the slam is to draw trump and play three rounds of clubs, which will ruff out the queen in a significant number of cases. When the queen of clubs failed to appear after three rounds, I ran the spade and diamond winners, hoping for a show-up squeeze against West or as a last resort the heart finesse. All was well, as West had the missing key cards and folded his hand when I played the last trump. Thus, we won 11 IMP's when the other table settled in 6NT on the board.
The astute reader may now be thinking, "That's all well and good, but what does this have to do with the title of the article, "Standing on the Corner"? The title was inspired by the actions of Dick Rosner, who was playing for the Calkins team. Dick, who had reached the finals of this event for the first time ever, and whose team had played quite well in the first session, now made a critical error. On the night of the second final session, Dick locked himself out of his apartment - in a torrential rainstorm! As noted at the beginning of the article, the Calkins team could not field four players as Dick was the fourth, and had to forfeit. And where was Dick? B Standing on the corner, in the rain! Kudos to the teammate who was attempting to call Dick back, after he reported his plight. The phone was inside, warm and dry, but not Dick!
Aside from the humorous aspect of such a happening, I report this, because we can all empathize with Dick. As bridge players, we have all at one time or another, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Dick, I salute your accomplishment in reaching the finals, but don't expect that my empathy will induce me to report that vulnerable 3NT I mis-defended, or that slam I should not have bid, or...

Breaking the Rules Stan Fink
by Back in bridge 102 I learned that if you open light, you should not take another bid. In the hand discussed below, I broke the rules not just once, but twice. After two passes, I opened 1 diamond from the North position with:
S 652
H 8
D AKQ7
C Q9862
I chose my four-card diamond suit rather than my five-card club holding because I wanted a diamond lead if my left-hand opponent became the declarer. After west overcalled 1 heart, my partner responded 2 clubs. East competed to 2 hearts and once again it was my turn. I know the textbooks say you should not take a second bid when you open light, but with a likely 10-card club fit and a singleton heart, I decided that this was not the time to behave like a robot. Sometimes, we become so blinded by what we have been taught, that we forget to use a
little common sense. In fact, when east next competed to 3 hearts following my 3 club rebid, I elected to take yet another bid. (I could afford to be fearless since I knew that if we bought the contract, I would be the dummy.)
This was the complete auction: Vulnerable: E-W

My partner, Phyllis Profita, proceeded to win 10 tricks, losing just 1club and 2 spades. She took the opening heart lead and immediately discarded a spade loser on dummy's good diamond. Since our opponents can indeed make 3 hearts, our result was a favorable one. (In a heart contract, they should lose 3 diamonds and 1 heart.) Actually, the defenders could have set the hand if west had started by underleading the ace of spades. While that may have been the winningdefense in this instance, it's certainly not the plan that I would have used nor is it one that I recommend. underleading an empty ace in a suit contract is usually a prescription for losing bridge.Standing on the Corner Dave Kuenzler
The 1999 Nelson Riteman double knockout team event eventually came down to a 3 team final, with the Elk team undefeated and the Friedman and Calkins teams both once defeated. The two session final was marked with some challenging bridge and some rather strange events away from the table. Unfortunately, the Calkins team was unable to field a complete team for the second session and therefore had to forfeit. It was decided that the Elk and Friedman teams would then play a winner take all final session.

I have been in only two types of grand slams in my life, those 1NT B 7NT ones with 17 top tricks and ones like this, where if I have as many as 12 tricks when dummy hits, I consider it a good start! My life goal is to someday arrive in a grand and have exactly 13 tricks B no waste and no work. With 12 top tricks, my first thought was to run winners and have a squeeze against West whenever he had both the heart king and club queen. I quickly realized a better squeeze would involve a Vienna Coup, cashing the heart ace early and running winners to reach a three card ending with AJ9 of clubs in dummy and K7 of clubs and heart J in the closed hand. This line squeezes either opponent if they hold both the heart king and club queen. Further, successfully executing such a coup would give me license to write up the hand for the Newsletter and pontificate endlessly about bridge squeezes. That reason alone almost induced me to take the Vienna Coup line of play.Our Members Score
