The dealer wins the odd trick.
ILLUSTRATIVE HAND NO. 33
Trick 2.—As A holds no card of re-entry except the ace of diamonds, he cannot afford to win this trick. He must trust B for a card of re-entry and a diamond to lead. The play can only lose one trick, and it may save the game.
Trick 3.—Z must establish the spade suit.
REFUSING TO PLAY THE HIGH
CARD OF A LONG SUIT
It is the rubber game, score love all. Z, the dealer, makes it “no-trumps.”
