GAVE YOUR HONOR

COVER AN HONOR with an
honor" is ordinarily pretty good
bridge when the purpose is to
make your opponent come up with
a still higher one or waste a trump
by rufing. But if you know that
your partner is in position to ruff
an honor led at your right, with a
little trump which otherwise would
be useless to him, there is no point
in wasting your own high honor,
the removal of which would set up
the remainders of the opponents
suit.
