Trickonometry

V N Ramamoorthy

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Table of statistical "Tricknometry" can be tricky!

Bridge is a simple game with minimal need for maths, so you think.

The common belief is that to "Pass" the test in bridge, one just needs to know to count from 1 to 13.

Yes, basically one must be able to count and add. In addition, a rudimentary knowledge of "Deduction" can help. It will have a "Multiplier" effect on the table to "divide" the adversaries!

There is uniformity among experts when they say a bridge player must think - not just think vertically but also laterally 😌

And you need to do it expeditiously at the table, unfortunately😢.

As a declarer or defender, one has to think in all "Angles" - and draw a line ( read : draw a conclusion). You may not know trignometry but you certainly have to master "Trickenometry"! 🙃

There are books galore on percentage plays, probabilities and statistical possibilities.

But nothing can help you as much as your Tricknometry. Just learn the art to make the tricks, scientifically 😃

After all, the trick of the trade is to make tricks, even by tricking the gullible opponents.

Euthanasia is legal in Bridge 😅☺

Happy bridging,

Cheers
VNR
