Realist or optimist at the bridge table
The columnist analyzes East West hands in a diagrammed bridge problem. Playing four spades, West leads clubs, East covers a club overruff. After ruffing, options include leading hearts or diamonds. A diamond finesse may yield 10 or 12 tricks if diamonds break well, but poor break or a club misplay risks defeat.
