Mathematics in Bridge Play Analyzed by Jacoby Duo
Oswald and James Jacoby of Newspaper Enterprise Association discuss a bridge hand where South uses a club combination and critics debate whether a spade or diamond finesse would yield higher odds. They conclude South's line is superior with odds over 80 percent, though players might still choose diamonds if West held both major honors.
