Dramatic Spingold Bid Swing Shifts 690 Points
In the 1988 Spingold Team of Four, Jeff Meckstroth and Eric Rodwell faced Norman Kay and Edgar Kaplan. A light takeout double by Kay led to four hearts from Meckstroth, Kaplan's risky shift, and a sequence where Kay misguessed. Kaplan's misread double and the subsequent play produced 790 points for declarer and a swing of about 1000 points overall, despite Kaplan and Kay winning a separate table.
