| Redoubled overtricks at 400 a time also looked very expensive to East who had the decision of standing his ground or running to a 'cheaper' spot. |
| If it loses you will have your nine tricks, if it wins you will probably make some number of overtricks. |
| In this respect it has an affinity with the exact bidding games, especially as there is sometimes a penalty for making too many overtricks. |
| For example, if the bid is 3 Diamonds and the defenders take 11 tricks, they score for a partial with two overtricks. |
| On Board 7, against Zulfi-Siraj Salam they netted two overtricks in 4H which was a top score. |
| However, some play that the declarer receives nothing extra for overtricks and some play that the declarer who takes 9 or more tricks wins nothing at all. |
