Safety Bid Is Rule Breaker In Bridge Lesson
North faces a sharp choice between major and minor suits, but safety outweighs a win. The hand shows a sacrifice in hearts or diamonds to deter West from a vulnerable four spade contract, with South ruffing, drawing trumps, and cashing hearts for an assured result despite a bad break. A club lead toward the king yields an overtrick, while North fails in hearts. East ruffs, North edges toward failure, and the defense would still win.
