Unnecessary Finesse in a Slamming Bridge Play
A bridge column discusses an odd line called the Unnecessary Finesse. North bids to a small slam after South shows a diamond ace. South executes a sequence using dummy and the unusual finesse to try to establish dummy’s fifth heart for a discard. The piece notes a defensive queen shift could foil the plan.
