When I kibitz at my club, I hear players offer post-deal analyses that are sound — and not much else. The play of many deals can be complex, and attempting an analysis right at the table is a treacherous business.In today’s deal, East’s jump-raise to three hearts was preemptive. He failed to shut out South, who came in with three spades and was raised to four. West led the K-A of hearts and shifted to the king of clubs.South took the ace, pondered and led the A-K of diamonds. East ruffed and returned a club, and South ruffed. He ruffed a diamond with dummy’s jack of trumps, led a trump to his hand and ruffed a diamond with the ten. He drew trumps and won the last two tricks with good diamonds.North wasn’t satisfied to be plus 620 points.“You have a phobia about drawing trumps?” he asked South. “Why let them ruff one of your winners?”Meanwhile, East asserted that West might have done well to give declarer a ruff-sluff at Trick Thr...US captain Tyler Adams returns to Premier League after completing move from Leeds to Bournemouth

BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) — United States captain Tyler Adams is returning to the Premier League after completing a move from Leeds to Bournemouth. Adams signed a five-year-deal with Bournemouth, the club said Saturday, after a one-year stint at Leeds that ended with him having hamstring surgery in March and the team being relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season. The clubs did not disclose the transfer fee but British media reported the deal was worth up to 24 million pounds ($30.5 million).The 24-year-old midfielder had been linked with a move to Chelsea earlier in the transfer window, but the London club opted to spend big on bringing in Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia instead. Adams is Bournemouth’s eighth signing in this transfer window under new manager Andoni Iraola.“We’re thrilled to have brought Tyler to the club and he is a player we’ve admired for a long time,” Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake said in a statement. “It’s been widely docu...Get ready for that Go-Go sound! 9th annual Chuck Brown Day celebration in Southeast DC
