Four Spades

by Richard Pavlicek

This file contains 64 partnerships with an 8+ card spade fit and no suit longer than six cards. West (declarer) can win 10 tricks in spades on the actual layout, though the North-South hands are irrelevant and omitted. The purpose is to provide a visual check of the point count methods explained in the referring study.

Point counts are shown for West, East, and the W-E total. Numbers after a plus sign (+) indicate points added after the trump fit is found. Zar total points are halved (half point included if body card sum is 12+) and K-R total points are rounded to whole (fractions 0.45 to 0.55 rounded up if body card sum is 12+).
