Right, this just seems like basic card tracking and reasoning, which is fun when figuring it out, and then not fun once it becomes routine. When you present a situation with only two options and one is worse than the other, you will have a hard time convincing me there is a lot of depth.
On the other hand, for the declarer it is just business as usual: you try to navigate the tricks making as few guesses as possible. At some point realize that seeing the Queen doesn't always mean a singleton, so you put that in the "guess" category, but the actual process isn't effected.

- jmilloy 13y agoI take your point, and I'm enjoying discussing this. I was never all that good, although we did find the time for a dozen hands or so a day for months at a time. I just remember being bored by the "deeper" things, which my friends (those who were much better players) found interesting. Which is mainly to say, as the OP was bored by go, he may also be bored by bridge.
