Dreamed Of Sugarplums In Spade Contract Play
In a bridge problem by Oswald and James Jacoby, South misreads the spade layout after North opens two spades. A sequence of finesses and a trump shift by West lead to South going down one, despite hints that five or six tricks might be in reach if the spades split 3-2. East capitalizes with the queen of hearts to seal the defeat.
