bb79 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Two years ago, I had read a funny article/story about a deal where a declarer made a grand slam without the ace of trumps because the poor defender holding ace of trumps had realized he had been given 14 cards too late and he couldn't overruff while declarer got the first 13 tricks via crossruff. Can anyone provide a link or post the full article?Thanks,Burak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It happened some ten years ago at my dad's bridge club, but I don't think an article was written about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's the story of the ace of hearts in perhaps my all time favorite bridge book, "Right Through the Pack". Order it. Now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Something similar happened to me as well. Opponents were in a small slam off the ace of trump, and managed to make 13 tricks when my partner revoked with his ace. Not nearly as funny, except when each subsequent table would open the scoresheet and immediately call for the director since the result was impossible.

Thank you for the book suggestion, I can't order now but I added to my list in amazon to buy later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycroft Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'm waiting for the day the first trump lead goes play,play,play,next trick. It's one of the laws I've never seen in real life (any deficient trick; I've seen five-cards-to-a-trick a few times), but it would be amusing. I used to know a third way to make a grand off a the trump ace (and have it stick with current Laws), but I can't remember it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
