The rule of 7
  • Zia advises against the use of 'automatic rules'. A bit of logical thiking will most of the time enable you to reach a conclusion best adapted to the situation at hand.
  • The rule of : In a NT contract, On a lead of a suit only controlled by an Ace, It is recommanded that the declarer ducks the lead (and the cards that follow in that same suit) as many times as the result of the difference between 7 and the number of cards held by his camp.
  • Example : with with 6 cards the declarer should duck just once (7-6=1)
