| a) |
On the subject of 1 a):
you will have to make the pupils think about these differences : |
| |
|
K Q 4 / K 5 4 and K 6
2 / 8 3 2 before introducing the notion of half-loser , i.e. a card
which might win or might lose according to …..? (Ask them to guess) |
| b) |
Show them clearly that
in (a) you must trump with a master: |
| |
-
|
because you have all the
masters in the two hands |
| |
-
|
because is the certainty
that the fourth Heart will be overtrumped |
| |
On the contrary, in (b),
trumping with a master serves no purpose |
| |
-
|
you would certainly give
a Spade trick to the opposition |
| |
-
|
the risks of being overtrumped
are very small |
