Jacoby notes a hand where South benefits from both luck and bidding skill at two tables. West opens nine of spades at Table One, dummy wins, club finesse fails to West's king, and a heart shift prompts South to cash high cards. A diamond lead from dummy forces West to show out, allowing declarer to go down three.
A bridge hand description shows West opening with four of hearts and the play sequence reveals West’s likely five hearts and four spades. South deduces West cannot hold more than one diamond and tests dummy’s king of diamonds to assess distribution and potential slams.
In a tough South West hand the right play is to rebid to three spades. If partner responds four hearts, the next move is to bid again only if needed to describe your hand. otherwise wait for partner’s action and play the hand carefully to take tricks.
