Foster’s American Leads: And How to Learn Them (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Foster's American Leads: And How to Learn Them
Their enthusiastic advocates are in the habit of claiming that all the best players have adopted American Leads, which is quite true with regard to the first three rules, but quite false with regard to the fourth. The leads covered by the first three having nothing peculiar about them, and being those which are given in full in Foster's Whist Manual, it is not my purpose to repeat them here, but to confine our attention to the leads which are specifically recognized as mod em, or American, although they appear to have had their origin in England also, their con ception being clearly traceable to four paragraphs, of doubtful logic on page 83 of the first edition of Whist Developments.
