Ill-fated overcall by James Jacoby and its fallout
In a bridge hand South pursues six no trump after an ill conceived overcall by East. Key Card Blackwood ambiguity leads to a spade blockage and 13 tricks. East’s likely singleton spade makes the lead of the spade queen profitable, a costly misjudgment by East. James Jacoby’s game books are reissued by Pharos Books.
