BRIDGE NOTES
PLAY OF THIRD HAND.
An old Whist rule was that on the first round of a suit" you should play your highest card third band In order to strengthen your partner. This was on the principle that he is) leading from his strong suit and wants the winning cards of it out of his way. You, therefore, do not finesse but play your highest, re- membering, of course, that you play the lowest of a sequence.
Admirable as this 'was as a gen- at that eral rule at Whist, even game there were several exceptions which Cavendish was at pains to explain. At Bridge, with Dummy exposed, conditions are different and the exceptions to the rule are much more numerous. Apprecia tion of the Eleven Rule when the leader opens his fourth best will!
where indicate often situations
third hand should not play the highest card. The bidding and the Dummy's, hand also, frequently yield guidance. But as a rough and. ready rule especially against Ne Trump declarations third hand high hould be followed unless there is good reason for departing from it.
There is, however, one notable exception when, without any guld- ance from Dummy, third hand should not play. high.
