WHIST ASP TflllST PLAYERS.
A writer in the London Quarterly Review
Bays:
It would be vain to attempt to desoribe all
tbe infinite varieties of bad play; but it may
be useful to give ft few of its most salient
characteristics, and this we may do by divid
ing wbist-players into four classes, witn, how
ever, tbe proviso that suou ft classification
must be only approximate, and far from ex
haustive in the lower grades.
lie ginning with the worst, the fourth class
appears to have derived their ideas of playing
from certain oral traditions, whioh, though
widely spread, and doubtless of great anti
quity, it ia difficult to trace to any definite
origin. Probably they may be the handing
down of the rudest practice in the infancy of
the game, we nave, as a matter of curiosity,
paid some attention to tbe habits of this class.
and tbe following may be taken as a summary
of tneir cniei rules, wnicn, we believe, now
appear in print for the first time:
"If yon have an ace and king or any plain
suit, lead them out at once. If not, lead
from tbe best card yon hold, in the hope of
making it some time; or lead ft single card for
ruffle C.
"But if fortunately'your partner has led be
fore you, yon have only to return his lead, and
seed net take the trouble of scheming ft lead
of your own.
"Never lead trumps, even if led first by
your partner; it ia wasting them, as they
might make tricks by trumping.
In all other cases, do the best yon can."
The only idea of skill possessed by these
players is in reoollectincp the high cards that
are out, and in discovering when the partner
is likely to be short of ft suit, that they may
force him to trump; they are quite indifferent
as to the play or sequences and small cards.
and wonder at anybody attaching importance
to such trifles. 'Ibis class forms the great
mass of domestio players; they are generally
very fond ol tne game, ana practice it a great
deal; but tbeir improvement is almost hope
less, as it is so bard to get them to take the
first step t. e., to unlearn everything they
already know.
The third class are more deserving of re
spect. Tbey have probably belonged origi
nally to the fourth class, but by readlug
lioTie or "Matthews" or some of tne oi
I bocks, aided by careful attention, practice.
and natural ability, they have risen much
above it, and have acquired, in domestio
circles, the reputation of being superior
players. They are very observant, recoiled
and calculate well, draw shrewd inferences as
to how the cards lie, and generally are Adepts
in all the accidental features of good play.
Their management of trumps is diametrically
opposed to that of the fourth class, as they
have a great penohant for leading them, a
course almost always advantageous for them
with inferior adversaries.
But ekilf ol as these players are, they com
mit, as Deschapelles says, "one long and
continual fault which they do not see, they
are "forts joueurs qui sont de detestables
partenaires." They do not play upon sys
tem; they will not conform to the oonven
tioLal language of the game; and hence they
lore the great advantage of the combination
of tbeir own with their partners' hands.
They, indeed, usually objeot to systems alto
gether, arguing that the play should be dic
tated by their own judgment. A player of
this clans will often lead from short suits, or
will lead trumps when weak, or abstain from
leading them when strong, or will even refuse
to return his partner s lead in them; or, in
fact, will adopt any other mode of playing
f lT ia nvn kanil nl n A 4 V wnvaf lanlf '
rots Mr. Clay, "which I know in a whist
plsyer." We lately saw a fatal instance of the evil of
this style of play. A good player of this class
opened by leading the king of spades, which
he followed by the queen. His partner, a
systematic player, who had originally tbe ace
and two small ones, with four trumps, gave
him credit for the knave, and probably one
or two others; he therefore put the ace on
the queen, to get it out of his partner's way,
then succeeded in drawing all the trumps,
and returned the third little spade. The
original player had no more, and the adver
saries brought in several cards of the suit and
won the game.
If players of this class knew how easily
they might step into the rank of first-class
adepts by simply adopting the orthodox sys
tem, they might be induced to devote a few
hours to its acquisition; but the great obsta
cle to their improvement is the pride they
take in their own skill, which they objeot to
make subservient to a set of rules, and, per
haps, in some instances, to the will of a part
ner inferior to themselves.
The second class are those who play Ac
cording to correct system, but who, from
want either of practice or of talent, do not
shine in individual skill. This is generally
tbe case with the young who are properly
tanght, and their number is happily increas
ing every day. Two such player would on
questionably win over two much superior ad
versaries of the third class; and they make
such admirable partners that a fine player.
working with one of them, would of himself
realize almost the full advantage of the com
bination of the bunds. This class are emi
nently hopeful; they areSalready entitled to
the name of good, sound players, and if they
have only moderate abilities, they must con
tinually improve.
The first or highest class are those who, to
the soundness and system of the second class,
add the personal skill of the third. They
then become fine players, and, although there
may be among them many grades of excel
lence, they may as a class be said to have
arrived at tbe summit of the scale.
