Jacoby on Bridge Leads and a Shared Three Notrump
Oswald Jacoby analyzes a recent team match where both tables reached three no trump. Both opens started with a spade lead. Bummy played low and East overruffed the spade. South attempted clubs, then heart finesse failed as West won the queen of hearts and continued spades, allowing East to take four tricks to defeat the contract. Ralph Cash evaluated the clubs and four tricks looked necessary to make.

Cash Leads Five Club Tricks In Winding Bridge Play
In a bridge hand, Cash plays the nine of clubs to finesse, West covers with ten, dummy later wins with king, East discards, and Cash ends with all five club tricks and an overtrick. West’s choice to overtake nine or six would not have saved him. Flood news from Jakarta reports 30,000 Indonesians marooned in Sumatra amid the worst floods in memory.
