single source date February 2012 Counting coup refers to the winning of prestige in battle, rather than having to prove a win by injuring one s opponent. Its earliest known reference is from Shakespeare s Hamlet Act 5, Scene 2 where Laertes and Hamlet conduct a mock swordfight before King Claudius and Queen Gertrude. Hamlet strikes Laertes with his sword lightly, not enough to wound, and remarks, Another hit what say you? To which Laertes responds, A touch, a touch, I do confess. The point of counting coup was to avoid bloodshed during practice. Otherwise, if a partner refused to be honest in acknowledging a strike, the practice could very quickly escalate into real bloodshed as the better opponent proved his point by actually sticking his sword into the naysayer. Thus, counting coup was considered the honorable thing to do for all concerned. By other accounts the Plains Indians of North America also used a form of counting coup. Warriors won prestige by acts of bravery in the face of the enemy, and these acts could be recorded in various ways and retold as stories. Any blow struck against the enemy counted as a coup, but the most prestigious acts included touching an enemy warrior with the hand, bow, or with a coup stick then escaping unharmed. ref name Linderman31 http books.google.com ... works also counted as coup. ref name Linderman31 Counting coup could also involve stealing an enemy ... to count coup.

Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Scissors coup is a type of coup bridge coup , named so because it cuts communications between defenders, most commonly by discarding a key card from either the declarer s own hand or dummy.

However, if East plays the queen on the opening lead so South must win with the king, he can next get in with the ace of hearts and lead a third round to give his partner a trump promotion . The solution is elegant upon winning the king of hearts cross to the king of spades and lead the king of clubs, throwing the jack of hearts. This Scissors coup has negated the heart entry to East s hand by enabling South to ruff on the second round of hearts and thereby eliminate the threat of a trump promotion.

The Crocodile Coup is a play in the game contract bridge . It is executed by the defense specifically by the second hand to play to a Trick taking game trick . It is the play of a higher card than might seem necessary, to keep a run of honors from being blocked by a singleton honor being in the other hand with either no entry back to the remaining tricks, or having to return the lead to declarer who can promptly dispose of his losers. In the following example ref West was Augie Boehm. The hand was played in New York in 1980 and reported in the July 1, 1990 issue of the New York Times . ref , West executes the Crocodile Coup BridgeHandNWES Label South in spades br needs 4 tricks Lead West to lead &mdash &mdash 10&thinsp 7 A&thinsp 9&thinsp 4 &mdash &mdash A&thinsp Q Q&thinsp J&thinsp 8 &mdash 7&thinsp 3 K 6&thinsp 3 9 &mdash 9&thinsp 4 K&thinsp 10 With spades trump, South hopes to win four of the remaining five tricks. South leads the Diams 4. Now If West plays the Diams Q, East is forced to win the Diams K. If East then returns a heart, South ruffs and West is squeezed in the minors. If East returns a club, South wins the Clubs K and plays the Spades 9 again, West is squeezed. If West plays the Diams A, executing the Crocodile Coup, West then cashes the Diams Q and holds South to three tricks. West opens the jaws of the Diams AQ to swallow up the Diams K. Note that if the East West hands were reversed, it would take no special acumen for East to overtake West s Diams K and cash the Diams Q. clear References References DEFAULTSORT Crocodile Coup Category Bridge coups pl Crocodile coup ... more details
