Quiz 1.2 - Better Declarer Play - Combining Your Chances



West leads out the ♠A followed by the ♠Q (East follows with the ♠6 and ♠2) and it is all too obvious that he has a quick entry with the ♦A. What’s your best chance of nine tricks?

About the book

This book covers topics that, once mastered, will bring any intermediate player an immediate improvement in their scores. Topics include: to finesse or play for the drop (why not both?), loser-on-loser plays, entries, disposing of losers, and much more. The overall theme is, 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket -- instead, choose a line of play that gives you more than one chance of success.' As always, the author's clear exposition of his points is followed by a large collection of problems where the reader can test his understanding of this new-found knowledge.
