The dealer wins two odd tricks.
ILLUSTRATIVE HAND NO. 20
Trick 2.—Z cannot afford to lead diamonds from Y’s hand, as this would take out the only entry card.
Trick 3.—B waits until Z’s last diamond has been played.
Trick 6.—Z endeavours to establish an entry card for Y by sacrificing a high card from his own hand. B again tries to block the dealer’s game.
Trick 7.—The ace of hearts is now marked with B, and the Finesse Obligatory must be taken. Unless the jack of hearts lies with A, Y can never make the diamond suit.
Trick 11.—It is very difficult for A to mark the two of clubs.
DESCHAPELLES COUP. FINESSE OBLIGATORY
It is the rubber game, score love all. Z, the dealer, makes it “no-trumps.”
