Contract Two (three groups of two). Your hand already holds Skus and the Pagat: Skus, I, XVI, XIV, K♥, Q♥, J♣, 7♣, 8♣, 4♦, 1♦, 2♦. Group A: XXI, VII. Group B: K♣, 9♣. Group C: Q♦, C♦.
Which group do you take?
Show answer
Answer
Group A. It hands you the Moon, and with Skus and Pagat already in hand that completes the full trula: all three honours in your own tricks are worth 10 quiet or 20 announced, a bonus Group B’s six Card Points or Group C’s seven cannot match. Chase the trula first; the plain Card Points in the other groups are still out there to be won at the table.
