Stayman Play and a Dodgy Double on a London Hand
Alan Truscott, a member of Britain's 1962 bridge team now in New York, prepared hands for Autobridge. In a rubber from London he used Stayman to check for a four card major, proceeded with both suits, and faced a double from West. The clever line involved ruffs in hand, discarding from dummy, and exploiting West's four trumps. East criticized the double as folly.
