cian to play first-class bridge, but it doesn't hurt to know a few simple facts about probability. For of example, the chance winning a simple finesse is about even (it's exactly even unless the bidding in-furbish exhausted energies, dicates that one opponent has more strength than the other).

Here's another important fact: The odds are about 2 to 1 that live missing cards in a suit will be divided three in one hand and two in the other.

South WES of the hand planning the play shown today.

When the band was actually played (in the Italian national championships last year), South won the first trick with dummy's ace of diamonds, discarding the queen of hearts from his hand, He then drew two rounds of trumps, cashed the ace of clubs, entered dummy with a third trump, and led a club towards his queen.

This play really amounted to a club finesse. Unfortunately for declarer, the finesse failed.
