Bridge overcall changes spade game on two clubs bid
Oswald and James Jacoby discuss a bridge deal from a North two clubs overcall aiming to deprive spade bidding. South counters with four odd in diamonds for 180, while East overcalls hearts and South reaches four spades for 620 and a 490 point swing. The dialogue weighs the value of Markus and other top women players and reflects on negative doubles and American play.
