Lali Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I was kibbing in a Swiss team game. Top A players sitting N/S. On one hand, N who is declarer faces and claims hand. Opponent tells declarer that declarer didn't follow suit on the last played trick which has been turned over by all players. Declarer says, "It doesn't matter, I have all the tricks!" The opponents allowed the claim to stand but I was wondering.... when declarer claims, isn't he essentially playing to the next trick and thus establishing a revoke? Or can he just correct the trick he didn't follow to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevahound Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Law 63 A 3. The claim establishes the revoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackshoe Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 It does matter. The claim establishes the revoke, so there will usually be a transfer of one or two tricks to the defending side. As a kibitzer, you did the right thing in saying nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
