How to play bridge?(3)

After learning the different way to play the trump and no-trump contract, I want to talk about more advanced skills. Last time, we have learned how to count the winners and make a contract.

Counting the winners you have can help you to know more about the situation of the game. However, in some contracts, perhaps you don't have enough winners to win the game. Therefore, we should learn some skills to win more tricks as possible.

Now, here are two skills which are easy to learn.

In this picture, I want to talk about "finesse"(飛牌). In this case, you only have one winner. However, if you play a small card from South, and then you can win one more trick. Because if the West plays the K, you can use A to eat the K, and then the Q and J become the winners. If the West plays small card, you can play the Q and win one more trick.

 



In the picture below, there are three winners in the North. If you cash the A, K, and Q, and the distribution is 3-2 or 2-3, you can win three more tricks(4,3,2) because the defenders don't have spade anymore.

  1. Bridge is really an interesting game, I still remember that there is an odd rule: "Playing card games under the roof is banned" in my senior high! And that's really weird!
