Seite 155 - VI. Should the dealer deal two cards at once, or two cards to the same hand, and then deal a third ; but if, prior to dealing that third card, the dealer can, by altering the position of one card only, rectify such error, he may do so, except as provided by the second paragraph of this Law.
Seite 167 - If any player lead out of turn, and the other three have followed him, the trick is complete, and the error cannot be rectified; but if only the second, or the second and third have played to the false lead, their cards, on discovery of the mistake...
Seite 162 - If, in cutting or in reuniting the separate packets, a card is exposed, the pack must be reshuffled by the dealer and cut again ; if there is any confusion of the cards or doubt as to the place where the pack was separated, there must be a new cut. 12. If the dealer reshuffles the pack after it has been properly cut, he loses his deal. DEALING. 13. When the pack...
Seite 170 - If any one omit playing to a former trick, and such error be not discovered until he has played to the next, the adversaries may claim a new deal; should they decide that the deal stand good, the surplus card at the end of the hand is considered to have been played to the imperfect trick, but does not constitute a revoke therein.
Seite 110 - ... which you have the means of making as obvious to him as it is to yourself. Or to make sure of the tricks required to save or win the game. Or unless he has already been forced, and has not led a trump. Or unless he has asked to be forced by leading from a single card, or two weak cards. Or unless the adversary has led, or asked for trumps. This last exception is the slightest of the justifications for forcing your partner, when you are weak in trumps, but it is in most cases a sufficient apology.
Seite 106 - If then a good partner refrains from forcing yon, you may be sure he is weak ; on the other hand, if he evidently intends to force you (as by leading a losing card of a suit he knows you must trump) you may assume that he is strong in trumps ; and you should take the force willingly, even though you do not want to be forced, depending on his strength to exhaust the adversaries
Seite 218 - A plays well throughout, but he cannot prevent the result. His lead of the trump at Trick 3 to show his strength, and to tell his partner to make one trick certain if he has the chance, is unlucky, as it puts the adversaries on the only tack for saving the game.
Seite 107 - ... trumps. You may, however, though weak, force your partner under these circumstances. 1. When he has already shown a desire to be forced, or weakness in trumps, as by trumping a doubtful card, or by refraining from forcing you. 2. When you have a cross-ruff, which secures several tricks at once, and is therefore often more advantageous than trying to establish a suit. 3. Sometimes when you are playing a close game, as for the odd trick, and often when one trick saves or wins the game or a point;...
Seite 156 - If a player who has rendered himself liable to have the highest or lowest of a suit called, fail to play as desired...
Seite 232 - But if he holds two small cards in addition to the kn. and 10, he wants B.'s k. out of the way. Therefore, with kn., 10, and more than one small card remaining, he goes on with the 10. Again, he leads the higher of two equal cards when he held but four originally; the lower when he held more than four (see Table of Leads, No. I.). And B. will count his partner's hand. The lead was from four cards at most if qu. is followed by kn ; from five cards at least if qu. is followed by 10. Now suppose qu....
