What reading level is Foster's Common Sense in Whist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In about 520 deals in 1000 he will get a trick in the suit, and in about 156 he will get two.
This will give you and your partner a total of about 1822 tricks out of 3000, no matter what card the player on your left leads, so that he opens the suit.
If the player on your right leads, the odds are still in your favor for getting more tricks in the suit than your adversaries. It is taken for granted that in no case will you put up the king second hand on the first lead, nor on the second unless t...he ace is played. If the king is three times guarded, it cannot be lost so long as you refuse to play it second hand, and are not killed by being made third hand.
If all the positions are examined, and the adversaries are given the benefit of every legitimate finesse, it will be found that you and your partner will get about 1644 tricks out of the 3000 to be played for, if your right hand adversary opens the suit for you.
If your partner opens the suit, your posi- tion is not so favorable ; because he will often kill your king, and will enable the adversaries to hold over him to his disadvantage.
