Unusual Bridge Bidding and Play From a 1980 NEA Column
Phillip Alder reviews a bridge deal from OKbridge where a club strong bid met unusual responses. West bids hearts and clubs inconsistently, three clubs is debated, and the spade rebid’s force is unclear. The resulting play involves ruffing clubs, overruffing, and careful trump management leading to an above average contract for South.
