Unusual trump strategy nets five diamonds doubled contract
In a North South deal with North dealer and spade lead, South doubles to five diamonds. The declarer should avoid a direct trump ruff by crossing to the ace of hearts and leading a low trump toward dummy, then manage the diamonds to limit losses. This illustrates no universal bridge rule and the merit of leading from strength toward weakness in special cases.
