A couple at my club has been wed for 59 years. Asked to explain their marriage’s success, the husband said that when they started, they decided he would make the major decisions, she would make the minor ones.“And we’ve never had a major decision.”Declarers at a suit contract face a major decision: when to draw trumps, if at all.

He next led a heart to his king and back to dummy’s jack. East’s queen won.BEST PLAYSouth might have saved himself some grief (though not as the cards lay) by running his trumps before trying the hearts. But his best play is to cash only the A-K of trumps, then take the K-A of hearts.When East-West follow, South throws his last heart on the king of diamonds and ruffs a heart high. He can draw the missing trump with the ten and pitch his club...
