“I hear you’re starting a new diet and exercise plan in 2024,” I said to Cy the Cynic. He constantly battles his weight.“I’m trying a gym called ‘Resolutions,'” Cy replied. “You go for two weeks, and then the place turns into a bar.”Cy should resolve not to play the card nearest his thumb. He often plunges ahead without thinking. When Cy played at today’s 3NT, West led the five of spades: eight, ace, three. East returned a spade, the Cynic played low, and West won and led a third spade.THIRD DIAMONDCy next led a heart to dummy and returned a diamond to his queen. The finesse won, but when he led the ace and a third diamond, East took the ten and king. Cy ended with three hearts, two diamonds, two clubs and a spade.Cy succumbed to impulsivity, as usual. Since West is a favorite to hold the queen of spades, Cy must ditch his king under East’s ace at Trick One. Cy gets a second dummy entry and can finesse twice in diamon...
