Side Glances Help South Reach a Slam in Bridge
In a bridge column, South deploys a dummy reversal ruff strategy to counter two hearts and fend off bad breaks in diamonds and trumps. He ruffs twice, discards a diamond on the last trump, then cashes top diamonds and clubs to claim a six trick sequence. West opened a diamond, making a slam possible yet risky. with a limit jump raise, the slam remains a near certainty in many bidding systems.
