What is a "Jacoby transfer"?
A Jacoby transfer is a special way of bidding in bridge that helps one player tell their partner which suit they want to play in. When a player has a strong hand in one suit but does not want to be the one to play it, they use a Jacoby transfer. The player bids the next suit above the one they want, which signals to their partner to bid the suit they really want to play. This way, the partner becomes the one in control of the hand, which is often helpful for winning.
