The Bath coup is a coup in the game of contract bridge in which the declarer, who holds AJx(x) in a suit, ducks the left-hand opponent's lead of a king (or a queen) in that suit. The coup is presumed to be named after the city of Bath in England and dates from the game of whist, the predecessor of bridge. The purpose of the Bath coup is either to gain a trick by means of a free finesse if the suit is continued or to gain a tempo because the suit may not be continued by opponents without the loss of a trick. The basic position for the Bath coup is like this diagram:

  • The Bath coup is a coup in the game of contract bridge in which the declarer, who holds AJx(x) in a suit, ducks the left-hand opponent's lead of a king (or a queen) in that suit. The coup is presumed to be named after the city of Bath in England and dates from the game of whist, the predecessor of bridge. The purpose of the Bath coup is either to gain a trick by means of a free finesse if the suit is continued or to gain a tempo because the suit may not be continued by opponents without the loss of a trick. The basic position for the Bath coup is like this diagram: West leads the king at a notrump contract. If South takes the trick immediately, his jack can be finessed subsequently if East gains a later trick, providing four tricks in the suit for the defense. However, if South applies the Bath coup by ducking, he will either take two tricks with AJ, or the opponents would have to regain the lead twice to cash the suit—first, East must gain the lead in order to finesse through declarer's AJ, and later, West must regain the lead to cash the suit. If the suit is divided 5–2, as in the diagram, the declarer has in effect performed a hold up with an additional gain in tempo, as the opponents have to regain the lead once each. If the suit were divided 4–3, the last lead could be gained by any opponent to cash the suit, but the number of available tricks would be smaller. The coup also occurs when ace and jack are split, but the jack lies before KQ. (en)
  • Au bridge, le Coup de Bath consiste à jouer une petite carte sur l'entame d'un Roi promettant la Dame, pour conserver la fourchette AV. L'adversaire, ainsi laissé en main, ne peut continuer la couleur, sous peine d'y établir une levée sans gain de temps, puisque s'y créerait mécaniquement un arrêt supplémentaire. Il est donc obligé de chercher son partenaire dans une autre couleur. Dans l'exemple ci-contre, le déclarant ne craint aucun retour et peut donc sans problème jouer le Coup de Bath pour stériliser les ♠. Ce coup doit son nom à la station thermale anglaise de Bath, où il fut observé pour la première fois lors d'une partie de whist. * Portail des jeux (fr)
  • Manewr z Bath - polega na zagranego przez obrońcę honoru aby skłonić go do ponownego zagrania w ten kolor lub aby uniemożliwić obrońcom wyrobienie koloru poprzez zyskanie . Przykładowo: ♠ x ♥ AKxx; ♦ DW10x; ♣ ADX ♠ KD10xx ♠ xxxx ♥ xxxx ♥ x ♦ x ♦ Axxx ♣ xxx ♣ xxxx ♠ AWx ♥ DWxx ♦ Kxx; ♣ KWX S gra 3BA. W wistuje w króla pik, a S puszcza.
