"My dear. don't you think it is time we started work on the new house?"

For a small slam, have a. 50-50 chance.

For a grand slam. you should have at least a. 2 to 1 chance.

Let's apply these percentages to a. case:

Thirteen tricks were ironclad, and so North-South passed up .the extra 750 points they could have collecte .

North, explaining his pass to six hearts, argued that with South an- nouncing only two kings, it had seemed dangerous to assume that no spade tricks would be lost. South, he said, might have hadi two spades. requiring a tinesse.
