It&#8217;s a shame it&#8217;s going down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cWhat do you mean you went down? The Clubs were 4-1 and you played them the wrong way?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her:<\/strong> \u201cYes, the Clubs were 4-1 and, yes, I lost a Club. But why are you talking about playing them the wrong way?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cBecause the presence of the nine in dummy allows you to finesse the Jack in both directions. You have two tenaces to capture the Jack: Q-10 in your hand and K-9 in dummy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her:<\/strong> \u201cYes, but it&#8217;s normal to start by drawing Ace and King to keep the tenace with Q-10, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cNo, you have to start by drawing the Ace and then you have to decide. If the Clubs split 3-2, no problem. If they are 4-1, you will have to choose which honor you have to draw next based on the chances that one of the defenders holds four cards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her:<\/strong> \u201cYes, if I think it&#8217;s West who has four, I draw the Queen to check and if I think it&#8217;s East who has Jack-fourth, I draw the King in the second round. And of course, I played the King of Clubs and, disaster, West had Jack-fourth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cWhy did you play them that way?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her:<\/strong> \u201cWell, seeing as West has six Hearts and East only two, I thought East had a better chance of holding the Jack of Clubs. Was I wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cNo, not at all, that is very well spotted. There are several things that can make you decide which honor to draw in the second round. The theory of vacant places or the cards played on the first round of the suit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her:<\/strong> \u201cYes, you see, in the first round, I saw the two on my right and the eight on my left. Afterwards I wanted to play the King even more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cYou were playing against a good player who didn&#8217;t help you. By playing his biggest card, West made you believe he was singleton or doubleton. But that doesn&#8217;t change the fact that you did something stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her:<\/strong> \u201cHow so?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cWell, you should have known that it was West who had four cards in Clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her:<\/strong> \u201cWhat do you mean, I should have known?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cThanks to a technique called counting the hands. If you find out how many cards West has between Spades and Diamonds, you will know how many Clubs he has since you already know his number of Hearts.
