Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Foster's Duplicate Whist
Such statistics lead to the conclusion that, though doubtless the skilful player will have much advantage over the unskilful, wherever all the conditions are equal, yet when all the chance conditions are taken into the account, balancing sometimes on the one Side, some times on the other, it turns out that superior skill IS not a very important factor 1n winning games; and the real advantage enjoyed by him who has a thorough understanding of whist lies in the superior exercise of mind which his pastime supplies. He has found a highly intellectual exercise, instead of mere child's play.
