Safety play

Step 4 of 4

Catering for the four-nil

King, nine, two opposite queen, jack and four small. Only the ace, ten, eight and seven are out, and you want five tricks: you can lose only the ace.

Think about how the suit can break. Three-one and two-two look after themselves. Four-nil is the one that can beat you, and your first card decides whether you survive it.
