Points Won
New-York tribune., 1921-11-13

only ~ points each, at no-trump, or 20 for
the two, it taken. But if tricks are necessary
and sufficient to fulfill a contract and go
game, the game is worth the difference. The
rule, therefore, is to take the tricks il they will
WIN the game and to take the points if game
already is won or beyond reach. In the fore
going case, game is won without the penalty in
tricks, so it pays better to take so points; that
is, 30 in honors and 80 in tricks. To take the
tricks would make the score so for tricks and
nothing in the honor column, except aces as
held, which are scored in any case.
Question-Dealer bids diamond second
and third hands passing. What should fourth
hand say, holding four diamonds to the ace
jack; ace king and small in hearts; three to
the queen in spades, three to the ten in clubs?
ID. r. b.
Answer-No score, some players would let
the bid stand, as it is certainty to save game.
Others would double, to get bid from part
ner, but it would be better to go no-truinps, on
the chance that the partner might have good
secondary bid. The hand is strong enough for
no-trump bid as dealer, and would not be
afraid if diamonds were the suit chiefly held
on the left.
Questionable declaration is three dia-
monds, doubled by B, who sets the contract
four tricks, but revokes during the play.
None OF us know just how to score this.
III. P.
Answer--f the adversaries of the declarer
revoke they cannot score any penalties for
defeating the contract, but may score honors,
II they hold them. The declarer, on the
other hand, has the option of taking two
tricks (Which would be Of no use to him in
this case) or scoring fifty points in honors
as penalty.

Z f1nessing the ten. On winning with the
queen, a returned the trump and B trumped
the clubs later, but that was all.
The result, SO far as the trump suit is con-
cerned, seems to justify Elwell's valuation, as
z made four out of his five hearts simply by
keeping them, and would have made three
even if he had led third round.
Here is the solution of Problem, No. 79, in
which hearts were trumps, to lead and w
to win six tricks:
z starts with the ace of spades and follows
with trump Y wins the trump and leads
the spades twice, jack and queen, while dis
cards diamonds. If A refuses to trump the
jack Of spades, Y will lead the losing trump
and will lose two club tricks.
If puts the queen on the first trump lead
will win two rounds of trumps at once. e
will naturally keep the winning diamond.
When leads the queen of spades and fol-
lows with diamond. B is in, and he has to
give two spade tricks.

Answer-It is usual in such cases. if the

to use some suchexpression as Il arrange" as
required in bridge, when touching card that

Question-Can player turn a card from
his stock or hand, and while holding it make
change i'll the cards already III the tableau'
or must that change be made before turning

Answer-As it is not compulsory to
make. any changes in the tableau, but only
to follow up the foundations. it is quite
possible for a player to have two or more
optional plays and after making one of then
to turn up a card that would induce him 70

"0HERE has always been some difficulty
in the mind Of the beginner in esti-
mating the value of certain holdings
in trumps. 1t is simple matter to
say that FIVE honors in one hand will take five
tricks, no matter how the other trumps lie.
1t is also easy enough to estimate that five
trumps to the ace-king will win four tricks
most of the time.
- The same is true of ace, queen, jack, or
T king, queen, jack; but when we get down to
five trumps, with only one honor at the top,
or one ace and the next one ten, authori-
ties differ.
81 The old textbooks used to tell US just what
all sorts of holdings were worth, the usual
method being to call all the aces, kings and
queens that were missing as lost tricks. This
was Elwells idea, and in his table of trump
values page 1873, he makes no distinction be-
tween the value of five trumps to the ace,
jack, ten; or e-jack; or ace-tcn, or ace and
& four small ones. They are all given as good
8 for three tricks; king and queen missing.
3 In the higher combinations his values agree
9 with the modern system of counting ace, king
to five, or ace, queen, jack, or king, qqueen,
ssjack, being each worth four tricks. How he
u got the same value, four tricks for five to
6 the king-queen alone, or king, queen, ten, can
be explained only on the theory that he
figured all these on the plan of counting the
missing top honors only as losers.
q The latest textbook on the declarations,
Whitehead's, makes marked distinction be-
tween possible trump suits Of five to the ace
: ten and those headed by ace, jack, nine, or
ace-queen. The rule have always followed
as safest for the average player is to prefer
suit call to no-truinps, with any hand con-
tanning FIVE hearts or spades, two tricks at
the top, there being at least four tricks in
: the whole hand.
Counting aces as worth two, hand with
two aces and guarded king should be worth
five tricks, and with five hearts to the ace-ten
should be heart bid. Whitehead says it is
better no trumper, and gives the example
below on page "a of hand that is very much
like one held last winter in the Knickerbocker
duplicate games.
