After the move of the player with a peak ace on the first or second move, it may happen that both trumps (the lady and the king) are on one hand. If on this hand there are 4 more clubs, the player will take only 7 bribes and will be left without one.
Calculations also show that such a layout (6 cards in one hand) is very unlikely and it's worth taking a chance and assigning not 7, but 8 spades.
In addition, there is another alignment when the player can lose the game. Suppose that on the hand of a whistler who has trumps, there are no clubs. In this situation, the next move from a club ace, which will be a bit, gives the player also only 7 bribes.
In another way, if the hands are the same alignment, which we thought would be unlikely (4 clubs and a trump card), then what? It will not be worse. Playing and with the move with a small will be without one.
The example that we examined shows that tactical reception (a move with a small one with an ace) allows you to assign games of higher value. In our case, this is 8 peaks instead of seven peaks.

In this example, the player assigns a stronger suit to the trump card, hoping that the trick can be used. If after a move from a trump ace it is clear that all trumps are on one hand, then you need to make a move from a small club from the fifth ace.
Losing can only be if in hand besides the trump card there are 3 more clubs, and this is very unlikely.
