Outthinking defense in bridge by James Jacoby
In a tournament bridge hand West leads the heart jack and East contemplates deceptive doubleton or singleton. Declarer wins with queen, plays diamonds and clubs to reach a slam, then cashes the clubs and trumps to secure the contract. A new book by James Jacoby and Oswald Jacoby, Jacoby on Card Games, is now available from Pharos Books.
