  • Advanced Tips
    ADVANCED TIPS In card play there is the rule "8 ever 9 never", whereby if you have only eight cards in suit and you are looking for the Queen it is best to finesse and if you have 9 then you play for drop. Larry Cohen has turned this rule on its head for COMPETITIVE BIDDING and the rule he has come up with is totally the opposite. 1 In competitive bidding 8 never 9 ever- when you and your partner are known to hold only an eight card trump fit don't compete to 3 level when the opponents are pushing you up But with a 9 card fit then take the push to the 3 level- further examples of this can be found in his Bols tip If declarer or dummy has bid two suits and you are strong in one of the suits then lead a trump. The reason 2 for this is that declarer could very easily try and ruff this suit out and by leading a trump you are removing two trumps. If you have made a limit bid, then be respectful and leave all decisions to partner - Don't bid again unless 3 forced or invited If you think you are in a good contract don't now be silly and go for an overtrick when making your contract is going to produce all the Match points. The corollary applies that if you think you are in lousy 4 contract, maybe 3NT and you think everybody else will be in 4S making an overtrick, Now you have to go for that overtrick in order to compete for some sort of reasonable score.

If you need The bridge maxim “Eight Ever, Nine Never” was only five and you don’t mind losing to RHO, then you designed to make easier the decision whether to should play SK then small to SJ. finesse for the SQ or play SA then SK. The theory is • Notice if you play for the drop and it fails, you get with 4 trumps missing, the queen will come down two tricks. most of the time. So, with nine trumps, never finesse. • At pairs, if the opening lead seems odd and has This is called playing for the drop. The contrary is donated a trick to you, you should finesse. Don’t be true with 8 trumps between you and dummy. Now, greedy unless you need to shoot for tops because of they are likely to break 3-2 with the queen with the earlier bad scores. longer holding. Therefore, you should finesse giving Tip: On the CK did you drop the C8 from dummy? If you a 50% chance.

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.
