: Мне кажется, что was lucky to означает ему повезло в том, что он сочетал... Т.е. заслуги никакой. Так что, к сожалению, не могу согласиться :)

Миша, предложение как оно есть не имеет особого смысла. Мое прочтение: он счастливо сочетал 2 "дарования" (т.е. с "подходами" автор явно погорячился - по-моему). Отсюда и was lucky.
