Overruff Threat Ushers North to Slam Lift
Bridge notes discuss an overruff threat after North’s two diamond denial and South’s long spades. Declarer errs at key moment, losing a diamond. Correct line: ruff third diamond with dummy’s spade king, then ruff a club back and trump last diamond. Best play is ace spades then ace diamonds then dummy club ace to reach 12 tricks. James Jacoby books available from Pharos Books.
