 Choice of Leads by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quizz, you will have multiple good choices of leads.

You will need to sort them out, and choose the best one.

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ K Q 10 9
♥ 6 3
♦ K Q 10 9
♣ 8 6 3 		 
Q: 1 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1 NTPass3 NTPass
PassPass


 Your choice:
A: K♠ - When they bid 1 NT - 3 NT, they have denied majors, but they can have minors. You need to choose the major suit to lead.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ 9 6 2
♥ 8
♦ A K 4 2
♣ J 7 6 3 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♠Pass2♠Pass
4♠PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: A♦ - The Ace of Diamonds is a better choice: You get to see the dummy, and then be able to decide if it's wise to play your singleton.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A 7 6 2
♥ Q 7 6 2
♦ J 2
♣ 7 6 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1 NTPass3 NTPass
PassPass


 Your choice:
A: 2♥ - Both of your options are majors so it won't help you choose.

When underleading an honor, it's best to lead against the smallest one, it's the least dangerous.
Underleading an Ace 4th is very dangerous, and will very rarely be an efficient lead.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 7 6 3
♥ 9 2
♦ K Q J 2
♣ Q J 10 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1 NTPass2♦Pass
2♥Pass3 NTPass
4♥PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: K♦ - You have two sequences in both minors, each one includes three honors.

The better lead is from the highest sequence, Diamonds, since it will be faster to develop tricks here.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ 7 3 2
♥ J 8
♦ Q J 10
♣ Q J 10 8 2 		 
Q: 5 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1 NTPass2♣Pass
2♠Pass4♠Pass
PassPass


 Your choice:
A: Q♦ - This one is a tough one. You have equivalent sequences in both minors. The only difference is length.

In a No-Trump contract, you would of course choose a Club lead. But in a suit contract, you must choose the suit in which you hope to make more tricks. And it's Diamonds, since with so much Clubs, there is a bigger risk of being ruffed sooner.

Your result so far:
