Legendary Spade Lead Defeats Declarer in Masters Event
In the 1969 Life Masters Part championship, Meyer Schleifer of Los Angeles led a low spade over North’s bid, triggering a sequence that yielded a two-trick swing. East won trick two with the nine of spades and shifted clubs, while Schleifer later underled the A K of spades to force declarer into error. The Corps of Engineers dredges 240 million cubic yards of Mississippi sediment annually, enough to cover Delaware with over an inch of sediment. The piece highlights imaginative play and misgauge of position as key factors in the outcome.
