The Importance Of
First Trick.
by Ely Culbertson.
It
Seldom has the vital necessity for planning the play of a hand before playing to the first trick been so well demonstrated as in the deal I shall discuss to-day was hecessary for a Declarer on a Slam contract to review in imagination the order of all the cada he would make in detail, and when he had done this, he found that it would be necessary to lose the first trick in order that his
contract might be made. This was lab unusual situation which the slightest laxity in concentration would have destroyed, for, having on the first trick, he would have Tailed to make the correct play found it impossible to win.
Thus in many potential bquécze aítuations the defending team can escape pressure if there is an extra round on which to make a waiting discard. This is the rea- Json it is necessary for the De- clarer to eliminate this possibil- lity by reducing his possible los- ling tricks to the minimum
or as
Fu-
ber so that the hand he is at- tempting to squeeze will have no opportunity to keep an inconse- quential cord as a means of exit a waiting discard. In stripping the adverse hands of these potential discard or exit cards the Declarer must alwayɛ guard against having the low cards which he hopes to establish
as eventual trick winners led out
by his adversaries. Nice timing is; required in this case to strip the hand by losing a trick and yet retain control of the sult in which the trick is to be lost.
