Longer example sentences

In fact, when one partner has 12 losers - which can occur with 4333 shape, as in the example above - LTC can never predict 13 tricks. citation NLTC however can predict a grand slam with balanced hands (see additional example hand below). (41 words)

Second, with NLTC the number of combined losers between two hands is subtracted from 25, not from 24 (explanation below), to predict the number of tricks the two hands will produce when declarer plays the hand in the agreed trump suit. (41 words)

Note, if the west hand happens to hold a small spade instead of the jack, both the LTC as well as the NLTC count would remain unchanged, whilst the chance of making 13 tricks falls to 67%. (37 words)

Example sentences (12)

New Losing-Trick Count (NLTC) A "New" Losing-Trick Count (NLTC) was introduced in The Bridge World, May 2003, by Johannes Koelman.

As a result, NLTC still produces the preferred result.

As with LTC, the NLTC formula assumes normal suit breaks, it assumes that required finesses work about half the time, and it must only be applied after an 8-card trump fit or better is discovered.

Because of singletons and doubletons, missing Aces that add losers to a hand tend to outnumber missing Queens that add losers. citation NLTC differs from LTC in two significant ways.

Consequently, with NLTC, the number of losers in a singleton or doubleton suit can exceed the number of cards in the suit.

In fact, when one partner has 12 losers - which can occur with 4333 shape, as in the example above - LTC can never predict 13 tricks. citation NLTC however can predict a grand slam with balanced hands (see additional example hand below).

NLTC intrinsically assigns greater value to Aces than it assigns to Kings, and it assigns greater value to Kings than it assigns to Queens.

Note, if the west hand happens to hold a small spade instead of the jack, both the LTC as well as the NLTC count would remain unchanged, whilst the chance of making 13 tricks falls to 67%.

Regardless which hand evaluation is used (HCP, LTC, NLTC, etc.) without the partners exchanging information about specific suit strengths and suit lengths, a suboptimal evaluation of the trick taking potential of the combined hands will often result.

Second, with NLTC the number of combined losers between two hands is subtracted from 25, not from 24 (explanation below), to predict the number of tricks the two hands will produce when declarer plays the hand in the agreed trump suit.
