CONTRACT

World's Champion Player and Greatest Card Analyst
LESSON IN ADVANCED LOGIC
THE
An end-play at a notrump con- tract is much more unusual than
end-play at a suit contract. principally because at a suit contract the Declarer can play for either a lead lead up to his tenace or which will enable him to obtain a ruff and discard.
At notrump the ruff-and-discard feature is not present. Further- mare, it is often almost impossible for a Declarer to tell whether he should play for the end-play or try to make the hand in some very sim- ple fashion. Generally speaking, the proper procedure can be deter. mined only by close attention to the opponents' discards, and even then the psychology of the opponents has to be taken into consideration -particularly the question of whether they are players who are likely to tell the truth. The im portance of this factor is illustrat ed by the following hand:
