Have played the game for over 60 years to a reasonable level and have never heard that term used.. Shows that one is never too old to learn!

I'm quite happy you've learned something there Fred. Next time you're declarer,and you present the defence with 2 losing options,you have achieved the coup, the Morton's Fork.

Morton’s fork: a practical dilemma, especially one in which both choices are equally undesirable

Sixty years?!?
Hell of a career that!
I always enjoy your recollections of games from years ago, I'm quite envious of the legendary games you've attended.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
