BRIDGE: A RULE TO REMEMBER......( By Bridgemeister Gibson ) This not-widely-known rule evolved from a true story, which will always be one of my all time favourites. Way back in the 1930's at Boston Chess Club, a bridge player named Resnick played in a slam, with a side suit loser....but with a trump fit of 6 to the queen opposite 6 to the Ace. When he led the trump queen his LHO showed out. Resigned to losing a trump trick, he ducked in dummy with the air of a man persecuted by bad luck and gross misfortune. His opponent, of course, snatched the trick with his singleton king. And from that point on Resnick's Rule was formulated: with 12 trumps but missing the King, play for the drop.
