Bridge: Oct. 7, 2023 “Simple Saturday” columns focus on basic technique and logical thinking.Combine two hydrogen buffaloes with one oxygen buffalo, and it’s clear what you get: one water buffalo. But the technique of combining chances as declarer eludes some players.Against today’s six spades (reached with a “transfer” bidding sequence), West leads the jack of hearts, threatening declarer with a heart loser. If he wins and leads a trump to finesse with dummy’s jack, East wins and cashes a heart.BEST CHANCEThe finesse is South’s best percentage play in the trump suit, but his best chance to make the slam is to combine chances: He takes the A-K of trumps. If the queen fell, South would be home (with an overtrick).When instead East-West play low, South is still alive. He runs the clubs. When East, with the high queen of trumps, must follow to three rounds, dummy’s heart goes away on the fourth round, and South loses one trump trick. In this and many de...

Correa where he’s supposed to be, leading Twins against Astros in ALDS HOUSTON (AP) — Carlos Correa’s path to a second season with the Minnesota Twins was a circuitous one that included him almost signing with both the Giants and the Mets.As the star shortstop prepared to lead the Twins in the AL Division Series against his former team the Houston Astros this weekend, he reflected on his crazy offseason.“It worked out the way it was supposed to for sure,” Correa told The Associated Press on Friday. Correa agreed to mega deals first with San Francisco and then the Mets before problems with his physical derailed both. It was then that he re-signed with the Twins for a second season after first joining them following his departure from the Astros after the 2021 season.“I always stayed in touch with them and deep in my heart I wanted to go back,” Correa said. He thought it was important to test the market and talk to teams that were willing to give him “the value you think you deserve.” But when the deals with those two teams fell through, the choice to re...
