Tactics in FINESSE |
|||||
| Rather than planning Bridge play by considering all the possible combinations of cards, human players look for commomly occurring patterns that fit the current situation. | |||||
|
With these cards, there are three choices: play the Queen, Ace, or 2. Playing the Queen always produces one trick. Playing (cashing) the Ace has a very small chance of producing 2 tricks. Playing the 2 and then inserting the Queen only if West plays low wins 2 tricks whenever West has the King. | ||||
| The name of the play of the 2 towards the Queen in this example (a `finesse of the Queen') gives the system its name. Altogether, FINESSE has seven tactics, four of them types of finesse. | |||||
