Jacoby on Bridge recounts a hand where East wins the spade lead and, after clever plays, South ends down two. The piece notes that better planning by South or East’s perfect reads could have altered the contract and even yielded an overage if spades are mispromoted.
In a recorded hand South opens one heart, West passes, North shows one club, East bids two clubs, South bids three diamonds, West passes, North raises to six hearts, East passes, South finalizes with pass and the contract ends at six clubs.
