Cross Ruff Clicks As Declarer Wins
Jerome Scheuer of Boston played a long cross ruff in a rubber game at the Boston Chess Club in 1938. He ruffed the opening club ace, ruffed spades in dummy, ruffed clubs and spades with a sequence ending in diamonds, then cashed ace and king of diamonds and used lead to force a heart. East ruffed diamonds and Scheuer discarded ten of spades. The proposed finesse could work but upgoing ace might miss the king.
