Six Hearts Slams and Three Mistakes at Bridge
In a Great Britain Sweden European championship match a Swedish South led six hearts from AK87 9263 AKQ in a West hand. The commentary notes how East’s failure to win the ace of spades at trick two altered the defense’s outcome, while South erred by cashing later cards. The analysis illustrates how misplays by both sides can cancel and produce twelve tricks depending on subsequent leads and ruffs.
