At 3NT, he led a heart to dummy’s king at Trick Two and passed the jack of clubs. When West won to continue spades, South was sunk. He had only eight tricks, and when East took the ace of diamonds, the defense ran the spades.LEAKYSouth had only one basket, and it was leaky. He must lead a diamond from dummy at Trick Three. When East’s ace appears, South has four diamonds, two spades, two hearts and one club.If East played a low diamond and South’s queen won, South could shift to clubs for nine tricks. And if West had the ace of diamonds, South would succeed if dummy’s king dropped the jack or the club finesse won.“It is the part of a wise man to not venture all his eggs ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:54:50 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — There are sandbags around the statues and anti-tank obstacles by the side of the streets, trenches in the nearby forests and land mine warnings in the woods. Signs painted on walls point to the nearest shelter, while air raid sirens occasionally wail across the city, which still sometimes comes under missile attack.But against this backdrop of war, residents of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, are living their lives as normally as they can while Russia’s invasion of their country continues into its second year.Although many fled in the opening stages of the war, residents have gradually returned to their homes as Russian forces were pushed back from north of the city last year, and the conflict became centered mainly in the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine.Shops, restaurants and bars are open — even if customers have to wrap up their evenings early and rush home in time for the 11 p.m. curfew. Nobody pays attention to the angular steel anti-tank hedgehogs by th...

MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid got used to pulling off dramatic comebacks in the Champions League last season. Now it needs to avoid one to keep its title defense going.It will be Liverpool needing to do something magical at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Wednesday to reverse a 5-2 loss from the first leg in the round of 16.It definitely won’t be easy — no away team has ever erased a three-goal loss from the first leg in the Champions League.
