Reflected glory or misplay in a high level bridge deal
The piece analyzes a tricky bridge hand where North shows 11 points and hearts with a limit raise. West leads spades, East signals, and West switches diamonds. Declarer wins, unblocks clubs, and, after a sequence of plays, defeats the contract. The discussion notes a suit preference signal and a historical nuance from Hy Lavinthal.
