Two chances are better than one

First of all, I hope all of my American readers enjoy a fun Independence Day.

Victor Hugo said, "Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other."

At the bridge table, you use the known facts to form an idea of how to try to make or break the contract. Also, if you can see two chances to succeed, that is twice as good.
