Length or strength in a four spade contract
The deal explores the principle of bidding and opening lead choice after a takeout double in fourth seat. East bids hearts to show his longest suit, South reaches four spades, and the king of hearts lead from West allows declarer to shed a losing diamond and fulfill the contract. East avoids a heart lead risk by overcalling two diamonds, altering the defense’s chances against spades. James Jacoby books are offered by Pharos Books.
