or you may finesse your ten upon the return from your partner.
This refers to cases 1, 2, 3, in pages 105, 106.
15. If queen, knave, nine, and three small trumps, begin with the queen, because you have a fair chance, that the ten will fall in the second round, or you may wait to finesse the nine.
Refers to cases 1, 2, 3, in pages 105, 106.
16. If knave, ten, and four small trumps, begin with a small one. See the reason in No. 13.
17. If knave, ten, eight, and three small trumps, begin with the knave, in order to prevent the nine from making a trick; and the odds are in your favour, that the other three honours fall in two rounds.
18. If six trumps of a lower denomination, begin with the lowest, unless you should have ten, nine, and eight, and an honour is turned up against you ; in that case, if you play through the honour, begin with the ten, which obliges the adversary either to play his honour to disadvantage, or leaves it in your partner's option, whether he will pass it or not.
19. If ace, king, and three small trumps, begin with a small one. See in No. 13.
20. If ace, king, and knave, and two small trumps, begin with the king, which, next to a certainty, informs your partner, that you have ace and knave remaining ; and putting the lead into your partner's hand, he plays you a trump; upon which finesse the knave, and no ill consequence can arise, except the queen lies behind you single.
Refers to cases 1, 2, 3, in pages 105, 106.
21. If king, queen, and three small trumps, begin with a small one. See in No. 13. |
