Declarer’s risky line in bridge deal analyzed by Jacoby
The issue involves a poor jack in to day's deal where declarer ducks hearts then leads spades and diamonds. He chooses to risk the diamond king split and West's potential spade king, with analysis suggesting a near winning line if East holds certain honors. The writer notes declarer’s actual play was solid and compares the outcome to a medical metaphor. James Jacoby comments on his books Jacoby on Bridge and Jacoby on Card Games now available from Pharos Books 1990.
