Shipwreck humor aside, South earns four spades
Phillip Alder discusses a bridge deal where South can safely run spades after defensive tricks. With North as a passed hand, a three spade rebid is sensible given a strong seven card suit and heart ace. The critical line involves careful club and trump play to avoid losing a heart fit or missing a spade finesse. The optimal path hinges on how East and West hold honors, then cashing diamonds and clubs to secure the contract.
