Winning the ace over the queen in bridge play analysis
Oswald and Jim Jacoby discuss a bridge problem where an expert East should win the first spade with the ace to force favorable play. They compare lines where the queen win leads to different outcomes, illustrating how the ace affects heart clears and minor-suit prospects. The dialogue weighs risks of spade and club finesses and the impact on South’s contract.
