Barclay on Bridge The Initiative Is Yours From Shepard Barclay

The column discusses bridge strategy when partner has not doubled and the adversaries hold a time contract. If you doubt your side can make, weigh the sacrifice cost against the hostile game value. Decide whether to sacrifice based on likely points and opponent strength.

Spade and diamond shifts set contract in a tricky bridge deal

In a mixed bridge deal East opened with 1 Spade, West bid 1 No Trump, North 2 Clubs, East 2 Spades, South 3 Clubs, then 1 Clubs. East jumped to 3 Diamonds revealing a six four shape. West shifted to 3 Spades, North 4 Clubs, East 4 Spades. South and West passed, North saying his hand was weak to spades. East doubled on general principles, leading spades then diamonds, West shifted to hearts, and the defense won five tricks, setting the contract two for 300, while North-South profited if East had continued to 4 Spades.

Bridge question on 4 Spades doubled and heart continuation

In the described auction East must return a heart that preserves the defense’s diamond and club signals. If partner bid clubs earlier, East should play the heart that ensures partner’s holdings are described while avoiding giving away control. The key is to extract lead direction and maintain communication for the remaining tricks.
