Free Finesse illusion in a bridge deal explained
In a bridge analysis by Steven Becker East leads against South in five spades. Declarer misplays by cashing dummy’s jack and winning East’s queen with the ace. With accurate play South can make the contract by treating the eight of clubs as a singleton and ruffing two hearts, then ridding diamonds to force the defense. West’s forced return after a smart line yields two diamond tricks and a stymied defense.
