Aces on Bridge Boosts Slam Chances in Spade Play
In a bridge hand, North opens with a constructive raise of hearts and South bids three spades, signaling slam interest. North cue-bids four diamonds then presses toward slam on South's sign-off, aiming to force a club-control response. West chooses a passive diamond jack lead. Declarer attempts spade establishment from dummy to discard clubs. East must rise with the spade king to defeat the slam, or the club finesse will fail.
