The bidding:
SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
49 Pass Pass ?
What would you bid with the
East hand in this position? Today’s
deal is from the semi-final of the
World Championship Rosenblum
Teams held in Orlando. We think
expert support could be garnered
for three different actions — five
diamonds, double, and pass. One
expert commentator reviled pass as
being impossibly timid, but we think
pass would get at least some support
from experts.
At one table, East chose to double.
West, quite reasonably, left the
double in and South scored two
vulnerable overtricks. A spade lead
allowed South to take both the losing
trump finesse and the winning club
finesse.
At the other table, East chose to
bid five diamonds. Good choice,
you say. South bid six clubs, North
converted to six hearts, and East
doubled. The same spade lead
allowed the same result — 12 tricks.
The doubled, vulnerable slam,
however, scored much more than
the doubled, vulnerable game with
two overtricks.
So, back to our original question.
The commentator who reviled the
pass couldn’t be found after the hand,
but there were many players praising
the virtues of that action, after the
fact, of course.

Force yourself out of your comfort zone
a seat, these two groups of people
might be the most accommodating
and the easiest to approach since
you are shy.
And please always remember that
most people really like the oppor
tunity to help a stranger in a small
way; even if it makes you feel awk
ward, it makes them feel good.

Dear Carolyn:
I just entered the
second trimester of my
first pregnancy (very
excited!) and recently
had a fainting episode.
It’s not a big deal, I
talked to the doctor,
and I am otherwise
healthy. However,
every day I take the
metro to work, and I cannot handle
standing up for the whole ride, espe
cially in the morning. I risk fainting
and falling, which is dangerous right
now.
The obvious solution is to just ask
for a seat when there’s not one avail
able, but I don’t really look pregnant
or unhealthy. And — this is the real
issue — I am painfully shy.
The thought of spontaneously talk
ing to a stranger to ask them for the
favor of standing up for me makes
me ill! So far I’ve just been waiting
for a train with a seat and enduring
the longer commute. What else can
Ido?
— Pregnant
Force yourself out of your comfort
zone far enough to ask for a seat.
I wish I had a better answer for
you, but your circumstances have
had their say, and it’s this: You find
another way to commute, you keep
waiting for emptier trains at the cost
of a longer commute, you risk faint
ing, or you ask for a seat. That’s it.
Since you’re about to become not
just a mother, but also the official
spokes-adult for another human
being, whose initial helplessness can
put this in life-or-death-
responsibility territory,
this is an excellent
time to practice push
ing far enough through
your social fears to be
an advocate for your
baby’s needs — and
a parental model for
using one’s voice. It’ll
feel hellish at first. I
expect you’ll not only get better at it
with practice, though, but also feel
stronger for it, maybe stronger than
you’ve ever felt.
Congrats on your coming baby.
Now go tell that metro what’s what.
Re: Metro:
Just say, loudly enough for several
people to hear, “Would anyone mind
giving up a seat?” I can just about
guarantee someone will. Asking one
individual for a seat can be prob
lematic because that one individual
might have a legitimate but not
obvious reason to need to sit, such as
having arthritic knees.
— Asking for a Seat
A bigger social leap, but also a
good point, thanks.
Re: Metro:
When I was pregnant, I found
that the people who most willingly
offered to give up their seat for
me were youngish women and —
surprise! — teenagers. I assume
the women had some empathy for
my situation, but to this day I can
only speculate why the teens were
so nice. But if you have to ask for
