Finesse Decisions in a Bridge Hand by Oswald Jacoby
In a Los Angeles dispatch, South can make five major and four minor tricks only with correct finesses. He faced choosing between club and diamond finesses. Diamond failed when East held king, destroying spade stoppers. Club finesse offered a safe path since East likely held ace of clubs, making the diamond line fatal. The analysis explains why the club finesse was the true line and how attempting both finesses depends on the first choice. Weather notes follow.
