Grand slam bonuses reshaped bidding in 1937 Spingold finals
The article recalls a period when grand slam bonuses peaked at 1500 nonvulnerable and 2250 vulnerable, spurring new bidding techniques that influenced modern play. It recounts Oswald Jacoby’s South hand in a Spingold final after a 3000 point lead, where choosing four spades over one spade tests the contract and swing possibilities, and notes the broader impact of the super bonuses on expert practice.
