From now on, consumers who are financing their projects and goods through credits shall be better aware of the costs they face and better protected against the risks of new forms of credits offered online, such as Buy Now Pay Later schemes.

My 25th book, “Let’s Play Some Bridge,” was published recently; it’s a collection of pieces where you listen in on my thoughts in 80 deals.Advancing players will profit from “The Magic of Defense” by Barbara Seagram, a noted teacher and author. In discussing planning the defense, Seagram uses today’s deal to illustrate the “forcing game” – making declarer ruff so many times that he loses control – and how a capable declarer might survive.HIGH TRUMPSAt four spades, South ruffs the third heart and leads high trumps. If West plays low twice, declarer can’t lead a third trump: West would win and lead a fourth heart, forcing out declarer’s last trump while West still had one.Instead, declarer takes the Q-J of diamonds and the A-K of clubs. When West can’t ruff, South leads high diamonds, and West can score...
