Bridge Contract Reads By B. Jey In Championship Play

A Bridge article discusses defense theory in a championship context. It explains that defenders infer declarers’ holdings by assuming the contract can be defeated and illustrate this with a hand where West holds the seven of diamonds and East the king while South has the queen. The defender must decide under uncertainty whether West or South holds the missing diamond. East’s diamond return and subsequent plays lead declarer to potentially fail if misread, but correct play by East or declarer can alter the outcome. The piece emphasizes evaluating all possibilities and the risk of foul tricks.
