Bridge Match: Reese Tops with Precise Slam Play in 1955 NY
In a Great Britain versus United States match in New York 1955, Terence Reese at the second table averted the risky club finesse and used a ruff and heart setup to reach slam. His line against the diamond lead established hearts and clubs, enabling a successful finish despite East’s defense. The first table saw a similar slam by another American pair, with a heart and spade finesse sequence and a 1 470 score.
