In a 13 trick contract South should cash hearts and clubs early to set up a squeeze. If either fourth spade or fourth diamond is good or if 3-3 breaks occur, South can reach 13 tricks. East must concede a spade or diamond on the third heart, making the grand slam possible.
Oswald Jacoby explains not peeking at East and West hands to enjoy a series on squeeze plays. He notes a hand with 22 high-card points supports North jumping from one no trump to seven. With 22 and a 15 minimum, 87 points suggest grand slam odds around 90 percent.
