Unnatural Play Delivers Contract in Bridge Article
Contract Bridge by B Jay Becker surveys a hand where South secures a contract via an unusual play. West leads hearts, dummy wins, spades are cashed, and a low spade return tempts East to misread. South then establishes dummy’s fifth spade and wins true hearts, avoiding a potential losing finesse and forcing a dramatic chase for the contract regardless of who holds the king.
