Do you say Kontra? You kontra only an item you can be sure must fail.
Answer
Do not say Kontra. Your hand holds 35 Card Points, but in a Solo any Tarok beats your Kings and Queens, so not one of your cards is sure to win a trick. Nothing in view proves that the Solo fails: if P2 holds ten high Taroks, P2 wins every trick. Card Points in your hand are not Card Points in your pile.
Rule: If you believe that the Declarer will not deliver the contract, you may say Kontra; here you say it only when the cards prove it.
