Deal 9 7NT OL: ♦Q	♠ A K Q 7 5 2 ♥ 8 6 4 ♦ 7 5 ♣ 6 3		Nice hand. You have 12 high card tricks and either a 3-2 ♠ split or a 3-3 ♣ split will land this Grand Slam. But even if neither suit splits nicely you can STILL make it if the same defender holds 4 cards in both suits; in that case you will squeeze for the thirteenth trick. Win the ♦K and (IMPORTANT!) test the ♣s first by playing ♣ A K Q. Darn. West discards a ♦ on the ♣Q.  NEXT

Deal 9 7NT OL: ♦Q	♠ A K Q 7 5 ♥ 8 6 4 ♦ 7 ♣		Alright, so East holds the ♣ Guard. You still need to exercise caution. Play your 4 ♥ winner's next. West follows suit while East follows twice, then discards 2 ♦s.  NEXT

Deal 9 7NT OL: ♦Q	♠ A K Q 7 ♥   ♦ 7 ♣		Don't play ♠s yet! Play your ♦A. East must give up. If he throws the ♣J, you win. But if he throws a ♠ you also win. This is what is called a Win-Win bridge play.  Deal 10
