Sometimes successful bridge is 100% logic and counting. Sometimes, it's "odds on." And other times, the opponents give us an extra bit of information that helps us find the way to the winning play.
This week, John Koch presents a tough hand. Ultimately, declarer finds his way. Yet - if an opponent had remained silent - would declarer have calculated the road to success?
We will never know. All we can know is this: bridge is often a weighting of risk versus reward. This week's defender risked - and - lost.
Our cheers to John for another fine column! (No need for silence there!)
They say in success high risk equals high reward but that didn't always pan out. Without any risk though you will never see reward.
