If that statement isn't a statement to the effect that the player will take
two of the remaining five tricks I do not know the meaning of the words "to
the effect that". And I am pretty sure that I do indeed know the meaning of
these words.

Sure you can obtain whatever you want if you are permitted to manipulate and
delete parts of statements at your own discretion.
