Luck and Intuition Highlight National Bridge Hand
The wand hand in a Washington national tournament match drew heavy attention. In both rooms the contract reached six spades. The open room saw West lead diamonds, Stayman misjudged, then led ace of spades, allowing a trump trick and swing against the slam. In the closed room Alvin Roth won hearts and Bishop set up a successful spade finesse for a slam. The debate centers on leading the ace of hearts and timing of finesses.
