C
Score, love-all. A adopts the trump.
First Trick.—B leads knave of diamonds, C plays the seven, D ruffs with the ten of clubs, and A throws away the eight of spades.
Second Trick.—D leads the ace of spades, A ruffs with the nine of clubs, and both B and C follow suit.
Third Trick.—A leads the right bower and catches the ace and king from B and D, while his partner throws his small diamond.
Fourth Trick.—in this case A will win whether he leads the ace or king of hearts; but his play should be the king, since his partner cannot help him in any way, and B might hold the left bower and pass the king of hearts, when he would ruff the ace.
Remarks.—If A goes over the ten of trumps with his right in the first trick, he will be euchred. This is the simplest coup, and is in constant use. It is not good euchre to do this when your partner has assisted.
CASE II.
Leading through assistance. When to continue with trumps.
