Beards, Blocked Diamonds and a Bridge Strategy
Phillip Alder reviews a six spade contract where aggressive bidding by East and West pushes to seven diamonds. South rebids six spades and faces a diamond blockage after a heart lead. Declarer overcomes by discarding a diamond on a heart from dummy, ruffing, then cashing three diamonds while keeping entries. Ends noting Alder's book Get Smarter at Bridge available for $14.95.
