B should play the 2 at third hand, the King, 10, 2, he should play the king, for if partner has the ace, knave, 9, h-‘un a chance to finesse the knave on the return or if he has the queen, knave, 9 and fourth hand wins with the king, with the ace A's hand Is now cleared. Third hand play depends entirely upon card led in conjunction in partner's hand and your own cards. You must become famil- lar with the combinations from which fourth best cards are led to make the correct third-hand play. Fourth-hand player, as a rule, plays to take the trick, f not aiready won by partner, as cheaply as possible. But there are exceptional situations where fourth hand passes a trick _or perhaps two or three tric of which might have been taken. ton says: ““The fourth-! thinks he must take every tric that comes to him simply because he can has much to learn and unlearn.” Trrowing the lead comes under this head, as also does underpiay, and a play- er needs keen whist perception to finow when to pass a trick at urth hand, thereby throwing the lead, or to overtake a trick already won by partner so as to lead up to a tenace marxed in partner's Land. For example: A holds second best trump, guarded cnce (king and eight of hearts), the thirteenth diamond, ace end a small spade, and is_void of clubs. € leads the 7 of clubs, B plays the s, D plays the queen, now A as fourth-hand player knows D has the remairing ps in the ace and the 10. If A trumps the club he cannot make another trick. He should throw the sma!l spade, refusing to ta! @ trick. Should D now lead his ace of trumps, A plays the 8, D 1 now compclled to lead & spade an takes with the ace, draws the romat wmp and makes the thirteenth diamond en partner i3 marked with a tena.e suit over his right-hand opponent 1 can over-take a trick already partner for the purpose of leading through the right-hand opponent this play sometimes a trick winner, but needs good whist perception or will fose a trick, 100 To underplay successtull The good player will see the chance to underpiay at fourth hand as quickly as at any seat at the table. It Is a good rul o never pass a trick unless you are sure to take two in place of the one passed.
