A book that I just got in the mail. A mixed bag of hands in terms of difficulty. One very cute trick from one of the hands: The following is a side suit in which East has preempted at the three level. In the closed hand is the singleton Ace of the side suit. The layout is:
......... North
......... QT9
West........................... East
xx .......................... KJxxxxx
......... South
......... A
With plenty of entries to dummy, You advance the Queen of the sidesuit, East covers, you win perforce, Now a ruffing finesse situation sets up a winner for a discard in yet another suit.
