Jacoby On Bridge Play Leads to Endgame Tactic
In a bridge column, West opens with nine clubs and Jacoby On Bridge follows with a sequence: South wins the first club, draws trumps, cashes clubs, and leads the queen of spades. East covers ace king of spades and is end played. A black lead lets South ruff and discard a heart. a heart lead hits dummy's ace queen. Morehead notes an East double would signal spades to West, possibly changing the opening. A spade lead defeats the five diamond contract as East wins spades then heart.

Bidding dilemma from Morehead on Two Hearts over One Diamond
In a long bidding excerpt, South holds A8 6 and K J 7 5 with hearts vs diamonds. The problem asks whether South should jump to two hearts after partner opens one diamond, given weak heart support and limited points. The discussion cites East may misread a takeout double and avoid getting into trouble, aligning with Morehead’s view that a winning player should avoid being shut out of bidding.
