Tricks AB, 2
YZ, 3
5. Y↷ B Z A
7♥ 10♥ 3♥ Knv♥

Remark.—Presuming the players are to be depended on for following the elementary rules of the game, it is clear from the fall of the cards that Y holds the remaining heart, the nine. B drops the ten, so he ought not to have the nine, the rule being to play the lowest card when not able to win the trick. Z ought not to have another heart, for he returned the six (see Trick 4), and now plays the three. Having returned the higher card he can hold no more (see p. [80]).

Tricks AB, 3
YZ, 3
6. Y B Z A↷
7♦ 3♦ 10♦ Knv♦

Remark.—It is evident that Z, dropping the ten, will trump the next round of diamonds. Nevertheless, A's game is to continue the diamond (Trick 7), to give Z the lead, and to make B last player.
