| Here is a game where power and distribution are each distributed to two different players. It thus allows no-one to declare, but one hand (LHO) the task of minimising the damage. |

| Notes 2. PLR decides to cash in some winners and sit back for a while. 7. PLR exits a diamond to exert pressure on the demand for tricks and eliminating diamonds from the hand. RHO decides to run through his / her diamonds watching carefully for the heart discards from both opponents. If all goes well, he / she exits with the H2 for an assured share of the clumond pool. 10. LHO and PLR shed clubs as it looks as though RHO has 3 or 4 hearts and is going for a target of 5 or 6 tricks. Post Mortem Here, power was dealt to PLR and distribution to RHO. LHO was clearly a victim. LHO did well to minimise the damage by discarding clubs and as many hearts as possible, always discarding from the middling up on the remote cjance of winning a trick in that suit. |
