Bridge: March 23, 2023

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:12:14 GMT

There is no expert consensus on whether to open 1NT with, or despite, a five-card major. Experts decide case-by-case and may consider factors such as suit quality and ease of rebidding.One deal proves nothing, but in today’s deal from a team match, one South opened 1NT and played there. West led a diamond, and the defense took five diamonds. South claimed the rest, plus 120.In the replay, South opened one heart, North raised and South had a shot at game. West led a diamond again. East took the ace and returned the ten, winning. When he led a third diamond, South ruffed in dummy and drew trumps, but eventually he lost two spades to go down.GOOD CLUBSAt Trick Three, South must pitch a spade from dummy. If West shifts to a spade, South takes the ace, cashes the A-K of clubs and ruffs a club. When the suit luckily breaks 3-3, he can draw trumps ending in dummy and discard two spades on the good clubs.Do you think this deal makes a case for opening one heart as South?DAILY QUESTION...

Ask Amy: My husband says he won’t change for my feminist mom

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:12:14 GMT

Dear Amy: I was raised by a single mother. She’s an educated, liberal feminist who brought me up to be a strong and self-sufficient woman.She is loving, open-minded and non-confrontational. We are very close, even though she lives in another state.Every year she comes to stay at my house for a week or two, and the two of us travel to visit other relatives. I always thoroughly enjoy our time together.My husband was raised in a very patriarchal house by blue-collar workers who never denied him anything. He’s brilliant and extremely successful, even though he never finished college, but he is insecure about how smart he is.He’s a man’s man, physically strong, can fix anything, build anything, do anything he sets his mind to, takes excellent care of our grown children, and adores me.My problem is that my husband and mother don’t like each other. They don’t argue, but they definitely struggle to be in the same room.Once my husband and I were debating about s...
