WINNING LINE,
by Ely Culbertan..
When several lines of play are open to a Declarer, the success of any one of them being dependent upon the opposing cards being di- vided in a certain manner, there is a considerable amount of guoss- work involved. In other words,. knowledge of the correct techni- que will very frequently not suf- fice if the player is unable to makej some approximate guess as to the opponents' distribution.
On the band below South made very lucky decision, based upor some logic, and fulfilled his plan with faultless technique.
