9.1 A reminder in passing: you announce your points first without filling in the little paper if you have not got 8 honours points.
9.2 Show the logic of a lead from "a short-headed sequence": if you lead in a long suit there is a high risk of being trumped and so losing the advantage of the lead.
9.3 Find examples of this kind of trick and note the most probable: the Ace of Trumps, the King of Trumps after the Ace, an Ace lead from a suit where there is no void in the hands, the King of that suit if there is a doubleton in hand and dummy, etc…
9.4 Ask why this 9 has no chance of taking a trick and approve of answers of this kind: "because there is no master card in dummy on which to discard it"
9.5 When you outline the explanation for the plan of a game in Trumps, settle for the moment with showing them this power of trumps thanks to which one can transform losers into winners.
