“Well, my dears,” your clever Uncle Hans says from the kibitzer’s seat, “this game has been most exciting. But in a few more tricks it will have to end, one way or the other. I wish you both good cards.” And here are the good cards you see when you look back at your hand:
Emmi: (31 points)
♠ —
♥ T
♣ AKQ
♦ JYou: (22 points)
♠ —
♥ Q
♣ T
♦ ATQTrump: ♦
Stock: Exhausted
Game points: Emmi 1, You 1
On lead: You
With one game point left for each of you, Uncle Hans is right that the game can only last a few more tricks. Take your time, though. When you think you have come up with a good plan, you are welcome to read my analysis.
