Win at Bridge
A bridge hand by Terence Reese analyzed by Oswald Jacoby and Alan Sontag. Reese attempts a six diamond slam after an optimistic sequence, relying on 3 2 trump break and careful ruffing to establish the last two spades and two club discards. West’s club opening would have doomed the slam. Also note: on this date in 1977 Sadat and Begin ended talks without a peace accord.
