6 by South on 7 lead

Tony Forrester made his contract, at the table,

on a deal similar to this,

in the England-USA Bermuda Bowl match.

The defence can prevail if the club 6 and 7 are swapped, can't it?

Gib confirms your conclusion :)

The 8 is what I call a pivot

In the actual hand, dummy's clubs were a bit stronger. Nevertheless, to make the contract, Tony Forrester still had to play for the entry-fork-strip double-squeeze

Is this really a double squeeze ? E is not squeezed at all, merely forked, and W is squeezed in 2 ways, there's a stepping stone in there which is what prevents him discarding all his clubs

 

Also it's a good piece of card reading, how do you tell the difference between:

 

[hv=pc=n&w=shj9dct9&e=shdqcq65]266|100[/hv]

 

and the same ending with the 10 and Q swapped ? The first you play ace and another club for the fork, the second you cash the ace of clubs and then play 2 top hearts to make the diamond ace by stepping stone
