Quick
 Tricks

Only one queen-jack must be counted in a hand as one-half trick for suit bid.
 An ace-queep is counted as one and one-half tricks only when 1t is held with a biddable suit or if partner or right hand opponent has bid that suit.
 Quick tricks are defensive tricks. Your first bid should not only indi- cate to partner that you have a playable suit, but should also show him that if opponents bid he can depend upon you to take two to three tricks against any bid they ! may make.
 Quick tricks are the real basis for valuing hands at contract bridge. Your hand may contain six to seven probable tricks, but if you have unprotected suits and
 missing quick tricks, until part ner shows up with those quick tricks, it is easy to understand that the opponents will run these off before you can get started with your probable tricks.
 When your hand contains two
 and one-half quick tricks as out lined above and your partner holds
 one ana one-half tricks, it is safe | to say that the combined hands will make two to three odd. When the combined hands contain i've quick tricks, the hands will, in the
 majority of cases, make game.
 With favorable distribution four
 and one-half quick tricks will pro- duce game. Six and one-half to
 seven quick tricks will produce q
 small slam, while seven to eight
 quick tricks will produce a grand slam. When bidding for grand
 slams, however, the contract play CT must also remember that dis tribution is an important factor. You may hold eight quick tricks, but with an unfavorable distribu- ton you might find the first trick ruffed.
 l Never sacrifice a sure game for 1 A doubtful small slam. and under no circumstances gamble for the grand slam when an almost cer- tain small slam Is possible.
 Most authorities talk of probable
 tricks, while most experts deal en- tireiy with distribution and quick tricks-tf1ey count their losers ana then determine by partners bid- ding if these losers can be discard
 ed or trumped in his hand. rms l necessitates sound bidding in or der to obtain successful results. 1 (Copyright 1891 NEA Service, Incl
