Look for Richard Finberg's

**article on Deceptive Play in the May 2026 issue of the** ACBL Bulletin.

"Richard’s play of the hand is truly awesome to see. He consistently achieves the most success out of every hand he plays. He not only finds the extra tricks, he creates the opportunity to make them. He has turned a skill into an art." Arlene Port
