Slam swing in diamond heart play yields plus 1630 points
Bridge by Steven Becker analyzes a North South hand where an apparent diamond loss becomes a profitable slam. Declarer uses heart division and ruffing sequences to convert one heart loser into two diamond saves, ending plus 1630 points instead of minus 100. East’s bidding reveals no more diamonds, forcing a heart or club return that lets declarer ruff and discard to complete the slam.
