Reversing the Dummy in a Bridge Play Highlight
In a Barclay on Bridge column, the idea of reversing the dummy is explored as a dramatic tactic where the dummy becomes the master hand. The example shows using the declarer s trumps to ruff out losers, a contrast to the usual ruffing order, with analysis of a North hand choosing this line and the resulting varied outcomes. The discussion emphasizes the method s effectiveness when the dummy has few trumps and the declarer holds many, noting the potential for an 18 trick contract if East is read correctly.
