Opening Leads. They're the card that sets the tempo of all bridge hands, and it is the first strike that the defense gets. Sometimes declarer's contract is rock solid and the lead doesn't matter, or sometimes the contract is too high and declarer is destined to fail.
What is important is that we must make every effort to choose the best opening lead that will give us the best chance to defeat the contract.
In this series, we will analyze the opponent's auction to see whether we want to lead aggressively or passively. Are you ready?
