A and B win the odd trick. 10 by
cards and 80 aces
Trick If A were playing against
declared trump he would begin with
his king and ace of clubs, on which his
partner would play down and out and
A would let him trump the third round
of clubs. These three tricks. with the
ace of hearts. save the game against
any trump call that q could make.
But as A is playing against a no.
trumper, he picks out his longest suit.
and he does not lead the high card of
1t because there is no fear of it being
trumped If he does not make it at once.
He begins with his fourth best.
Trick 3-Upon getting in again It is
still quite unnecessary for "a to lead
his ace of hearts, because he cannot
possibly catch both K and If tba
dealer holds both those cards. There
is still no danger of A losing his ace
of hearts, SO for the second round he
leads the fourth best of the suit re-
naming in his hand
Trick "a now reaps the reward of
starting with his longest suit and es-
tabiishing 1t. He makes three tricks
with the small cards. B shows his best
protected suit, so that Al shall know
what to lead when he is done with tbs
hearts. and this trick in spades gives
Alb the odd.
Play this hand over again. leading as
you would when playing against a de-
ciared trump suit, king and ace of clubs
hrst, and you will find that. no matter
wnat A does next the dealer easily and
inevitably wins the game and rubber
instead OF losing the odd trick Yet no
mistake is more common. even with
those who pass for good PLAYERS. than
TO lead out their winning cards lust as
they would in playing against trump
declaration.
rs play needs no comment beyond
the fact that he must try for the clubs
TO play diamonds would be to establish
the smaller cards of that suit against
himself, and to play. spades would ac
complish nothing. takes the chance
that the ace of clubs is with B. who
has no more hearts to lead, or if he has
another has only three left, which
still gives the odd trick.
