Fine Points in Bridge
By SHEPARD BARCLAY

When, however, the dummy has
only five cards. opponents hold
three; after the first one plays the
5. both the K and J are out. II the
third man holds both. nothing will
stop the K, so let's forget that
lineup. The other three possible
lineups are with both held by the
first man, only the K still held by
him and only the small card. With
the first Of these. the finesse Of the
10 on the first round wins: with
the second. the finesse Of the @;
with the third. play Of the A wins.
So the finesse is exactly 2 to ia
vored over the play of the A, and
the Q fnesse is sounder than that
OF the 10 because punching Of all
three missing cards in one hand
occurs less frequently than a 2-1
split. That play should be fol-
lowed ordinarily by the A next.
When dummy has four cards.
and four are out. again the most
likely play is the Q fnesse. to be
followed by the A. unless some
thing drops on the FIRST trick.
When Ave are out. finesse the 10
FIRST. to be followed by Q hnesse.
and likewise when six are out.
When seven are out. and you can
fnesse only once. the Q fnesse Is
best.
