To-day's Question Question: How should a hand be valued in order to make a penalty double?
Answer: Count your honour tricks, exclusive of trump tricks. Count as winners guarded honours in the opponents' trump suit and when- ever they are certain to develop, ruffers.· Add the minimum number of honour tricks shown by parti ner's bids. Subtract the total from thirteen, the difference being the trick taking limit of the opponents. If this limit is at least two tricks short of the opponents' contract, and if you cannot expect a greater gain at a bid of your own, 'make a ¡penalty double.
