Declarer play illustrates drawing trumps safely in spade game
Jacoby On Bridge West opens with hearts and South weighs heart losers and diamond or club exposure. He plans to ruff in dummy to block trump drawing, wins ace hearts, returns the suit, and considers ruffing hearts with dummy’s king or ten of trumps. The principle: draw trumps safely when no need to ruff with short hand. The example note discusses South opening one spade and North supporting with eight points for a jump to spade game, and the potential line after trumps are drawn.
