Jacoby on Bridge 495 and a Slam by Raise Theory

In this column the bidding and play illustrate using progressive raises as slam attempts. North and South employ a system where larger raises signal stronger hands, with single raise 11–13 points, single jump 14–17, and double jump 18 or more. The hand reaches a small slam after North shows one ace, East leads diamonds, and South plans to discard over dummy’s high hearts. The bidding sequence notes South West North Fast to Pass 1NT Pass.
