ALTHOUGH overtricks mean very little in rubber bridge they gen- erally make the difference between. a good score and a bad score in match- point duplicate. Accordingly, the well- thoughtsout defense put forth by Bert Lebhar of New York, playing the East hand in the recent Asbury Park tour- nament, resulted in a very good score for him and his partner.
