Ambitious contract tests defense in Long Beach bridge hand
Oswald Jacoby analyzes a tournament deal from Long Beach New York where a bold game contract faced a strong defense. The narrative follows opening lead nine of clubs and a series of finesses with trumps and diamonds, ending with South unable to reach dummy to repeat the club finesse.
Lose one trick in each suit bridge problem
South draws a fourth trump and cashes high spades then leads a diamond to dummy. East wins with the king of diamonds and exits with the last spade, forcing South to lead from the ace of clubs and give East the king of clubs. Most declarers made 10 tricks as West played a low diamond. Declarer finessed the nine to drive out East's king and later finessed the lack of diamonds to gain two tricks.
