Quiz on finessing or 'Get your combinations right'.

As declarer, how do you play the following suit combinations to best advantage ? It makes no difference which is declarer and which is dummy. Note that N stands for North and S stands for South. Send your answers to me via email, and I will let you know how you got on. It's very encouraging to know that someone out there is reading the rubbish I write.
