Two Bridge Angles in a Five-Club Deal
James Jacoby analyzes a bridge deal where West opens weak two spades and the declarer wins the ace of spades and uses clubs and diamonds to shed losers. East discards on the diamonds and later cashes a club queen, shortening trumps. A better line is to cash the club ace and then run diamonds. He also proposes a lead-directing three heart bid to force edge-weakness against a club contract, with a two no trump over a takeout double signaling own long suit. Jacoby’s books are now available from Pharos Books.
