Rules of the game. Whist is the oldest card game that first appeared in the beginning of the 16th century in Great Britain, after which it was widely used in Europe in various variants, where it was known as Boston , Vint , Fonteblo, and others. Nowadays, the offspring of Vista is Bridge . The rules of the game are as follows. Before the game, partners are first determined. Each player is invited to pull out one card from the deck. The players who pulled the high cards become the first pair, respectively, the other 2 players form the second pair. If players come across cards of the same value, then the players draw again. The sender is determined by lot. He shuffles two decks, one puts the next deliverer on his left hand, the other uses it for the game. The deck is carefully shuffled, given to the player to the right of the handler. Hand over the cards, starting with the left hand clockwise on one card. The last card is opened, put on the table, this card is a trump card. It remains open until the second leve, that is, before the bribe, after which the sender takes it in his arms. The player who is to the left of the handler starts the game first. You can go from any card, you have to answer the opponent in suit, if there is no card of the same suit, then you can put any card. The bribe is taken by the player who will put the highest card. The player who forgot, who put the highest bribe and took it, may demand to open cards of bribes, and rivals should show their bribes. Each player must put the card strictly in its turn, you can not pull out the card until the previous player is like. Initially, the whist consisted of ten bribes, the present one consists of five bribes. Above this amount, every extra bribe is paid by two points. The party in whist can be simple, double or triple. A simple game is a party in which the losing side marks 6 points, in the double it marks only 4 points, and in the triple does not note anything.

Recommendations for the draw in a short Vist

If the player has a strong suit (the exception is king, jack, 10), then he needs to go either with the oldest one, or with the lowest card, but not with the middle one. Recommended with a younger one.
If the player has a suit with two or three small cards on hand, then it is necessary to walk with the older one.
If the partner of the player does not trump the opponent's card, then you need to trump it. In a short whist it is necessary to take risks.
If a player does not have four trumps on his hands, and there is at least one (figure), then the player does not have to go to the partner's trump. The following cases are an exception: when the player and his partner have a double renounce; When this is the only way to increase the number of bribes; When the partner, having dumped once a trump card, will hide; When a player notices that his partner discards from two weak cards; When the opponent trumps or walks with a suit that requires trumps.
It is necessary to walk under the weak suit of an opponent, than under a strong suit.
If the player does not foresee that by putting a trump card on the opponent's card, he will still take 3 bribes, then it is better not to take chances.

To go with a lady himself-friend or jack-of-a-friend is possible only in the event that the player's game is bad.
If the player has a suit of two cards, then he must walk with the elder, but not with the king or with the ladies of the third.
If the player has 4, 5, or smaller cards, then the player needs to walk from the low card, except for secance.
If the player has several cards of the same suit with an ace and a king, then the player must walk with the king.
If a player has a single card and a few small trumps, then the player needs to wait for the opponent to go into the weak suit of the player, and the second player must be trumped.

Recommendations for the drawing from professionals

The most profitable secant is the secant quinta: ace, king, queen, jack, 10 of the same suit.
If the move seems questionable, then it's better to take a bribe.
If you have a few small tricks on your hands, then you need to start walking with an older one.
If it seems that the partner should take the suit of the opponent, then you can not interrupt him.
If a pair of players lack a trump card, then they need to keep the trump card to the last.
It should not be forgotten that an experienced player always gives an advantage to masks in which there are secants.
If the player has few trumps, and the opponent has trumpeted, then it is recommended not to overlap with the oldest trump card.
It is necessary to protect the trump card as long as possible.
If a player has only one strong suit on his hands, then he must show it to his partner.
If the player plays last, then it is recommended to keep the game, that is, not to discard the suit, which includes, for example, the first and third cards of the highest denomination.
