Simple chip method for Hearts scoring described
An Oklahoma correspondent explains a chip based Hearts scoring plan. Each heart won credits one chip and the queen of spades counts as thirteen. Players place chips in the center equal to hearts won times the number of opponents, then remove chips equal to 26 minus hearts won to determine net gain or loss. The method adjusts for varying player counts and becomes automatic after practice.
