RUBBER. BRIDGE VI. DUPLICA

When'one side is vulnerable : the other is not. the rubber gar. (with the necessary trick-score ht low the line) is worth more thar a three-trick penalty (500 points) auimt the enemy. But the dif- ference in not great, and if you are playing rubber bridge, you don't have to fret if you collect the said 500 points instead of taking the rubber on the spot.

At duplicate bridge, however. a vulnerable pair cannot. be com- placent about collecting I .500- point set instead of a game worth upwards of 600 points-in fact, by settling for 500 points instead of going gain:-. the pair may easily come out with a cold zero on the board. Indeed. the difference be- tween rubber bridge and duplicate is perhaps best depicted by the fact that at match-point play it is sometimes better to unable for game than to accept less than a 700-point penalty.
