Squeeze and relay lead to U S slam at world championship
In a Denmark vs United States round at the 1993 World Team Championship, Ron Rubin and Mike Becker used a relay system in North South to mislead opponents. Becker won the opening club lead, ran spades, and after a long decision West discarded a heart, yielding Becker four heart tricks and a slam. The other table reached four spades, giving the U S a 13-IMP gain.
