“Simple Saturday” columns focus

on basic technique and logical

thinking.

When today’s North opened two

clubs, South wanted two of the top

three honors for a positive response of

two spades. He tried to suggest his

hand type by jumping in spades next,

and North raised gently to seven.

The grand slam was simple enough,

but simple-looking contracts are the

ones that need care -- and the first

trick is a good time to get careless.

When West led a club, South let the

lead ride to his jack! He cashed the A-K

of trumps and then had to get back to

his hand to draw the missing trumps.

He led the A-K of diamonds, planning

to ruff the next round, but West ruffed.

“Bad luck,” South sighed.

“You had 13 tricks,” growled North.

“How about taking them.”

Maybe South thought his contract

was eight spades. He must win the

first club with the ace, take dummy’s

top trumps, come to the king of clubs

and draw trumps. He has six trump

tricks, four diamonds, two clubs and

one heart.
