FOurchettes and Tenaces

When Whist was the court
game, among other terms add
ed by the French we're four
chette and tenace. The former
term refers to a situation ariS-
ing in play: if the 9 is led
through your 1O-8-X you hold a
fork or fourchette over the card
led; you cover with your 10,
and your 8 automatically as
sumes the value of the card
played. A tenace is a combina-
ton of honors not in sequence,
as A-Q-1O, double major tenace;
K-J-9, double minor tenace;
40, major tenace; XII, minor
tenace; Al, A-10, or K-10, I'M
perfect tenaces. In brief, o
fourchette is having the card
next higher and the card next
lower than the one led or
played at your right. A tenace
is having honors containing
gaps between them. Much de-
fensive and offensive strategy

The Strong Tenace
A strong tenace in dummy
affords joy to the declarer.
Suppose that the spread hard
shows A-Q-X, while the declarer
has the 10; it Is possible that
suit may yield four tricks in
case the missing king lies at
dealers left, so that he can
lead his 10 through and pick
up the king. In any event the
lead of declarer's 10. will give
dummy several tricks, even If
the king lies at declarer's right.
A weak tenace in dummy
XIX, KICK, or A-10-X) is a
favorite suit for a lead through,
hoping that partner may hold
all, or at least a part, of the
missing strength. In case you
do lead through dummy's
strength and your partner wins
the trick, he will lead back
dummy's weakest suit, hoping
to put you in the lead, so that
you can again lead through
dummy. Avoid leading through
too great strength in dummy;
even if your partner wins the
trick you may establish the bal.
ance of the suit against your
side, affording the declarer
later discards of losers in weak
suits.
