When I watched today’s deal at my
club, North was the dreaded Grapefruit.
He owns and operates a sour
disposition and berates his partners
mercilessly.
After North-South halted at two
spades, South ruffed the second club
and led the ace and a low trump. West
threw a heart, and East took his jack
and king and forced South to ruff a
third club. Declarer next let the nine of
diamonds ride. East won and led his
last club, forcing out South’s last trump,
and when West took the ace of
diamonds, he cashed a club. Down one.
“Sorry, partner,” Grapefruit snarled.
“I should have tabled a better dummy.
If gas were brains, you couldn’t drive
two laps around a Cheerio.”
“Every card was wrong,” South
growled.
Grapefruit told the kibitzers that
South would ask for a price check at a
dollar store.
South can afford two trump losers,
two diamonds and a club. He can’t
afford to lose trump control. After he
takes the ace of trumps, he must start
the diamonds. The contract is safe.
