Professor's endplay triumphs in complex bridge hand
A student watches as the professor manipulates a four spade contract using precise discard and ruffing. From dummy and with careful trump management, the professor exhausts West's entries and reaps three diamond tricks plus hearts, counting the blacks to force the win. The bidding shows a 14 4h split, and the guide question asks how to respond to East doubling after a spade opening.
