INTERMEDIATES TIP 762       

        In a No Trump contract do not play back the suit the opposition has led- play good suits for your side not for the opponents.

        ADVANCED TIP 762

        Be aware of the guidelines of RESTRICTED CHOICE when  finessing.

        If you have adjacent honours missing then the chances of them being one each in the opponents' hands are more likely than both being in same hand so with a situation like this

                                                                     A10654

                                                                                        Jack falls

                                                                     K873

           After initially playing the king ready to play for the suit to break 2:2 when the Jack falls, now play low one ready to finesse that Queen

         since the cards are now more likely to be like this

                                                                  A10654

                                                         Q92                             Jack

                                                                     K873

        rather than like this

                                                                    A10654

                                                           92                                 QJ

                                                                   K873
