 Miscellaneous Leads by Matthias Huberschwiller

There isn't a theme in this quiz. You will have to lead from five different hands in five different situations.

Good luck.

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ 8 6 2
♥ 6
♦ A K 5 2
♣ J 9 8 6 3 		 
Q: 1 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♠Pass2♠Pass
4♠PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♦A - You have two good leads: the Ace of Diamonds and the singleton Heart. It's a better option to lead a top Diamond. When you see the dummy, you can decide whether to play your singleton or to continue Diamonds.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ K 9 8 7 3
♥ 7
♦ K 9 8 7 3
♣ 8 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1 NTPass3 NTPass

 Your choice:
A: ♠7 - To choose between Spades and Diamonds, look at the bidding sequence. They didn't try for a major fit, therefore they have length in the minors.

You must lead your 4th best Spade. K-9-8-7 does not make a broken sequence, since sequences must have at least an honor inside. K-10-9 would be a broken sequence.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ 6 5 2
♥ Q 10
♦ 6 3 2
♣ K J 10 9 5 		 
Q: 3 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♣Pass1♥Pass
1♠Pass4♠Pass
PassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - They might want to take some ruffs. You have the Clubs behind declarer and your partner must have some Hearts.

To try and stop declarer ruffing your winners away, lead a small trump.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 8 4 2
♥ J 10 9 8 7
♦ K 5 2
♣ 7 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♠2♦
2 NTPass3 NTPass
PassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♦2 - You need to lead your partner's suit, and with three cards, you must lead the lowest, to show your count.

"Lead the highest card in your partner's suit" is a very bad maxim. You should lead a high card with a doubleton, and a low one with three cards.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

♠ A 9 6
♥ J 8 3
♦ 8
♣ 9 8 6 5 3 2 		 
Q: 5 - What do you lead as West?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♦1♥
1♠2♥2♠Pass
4♠PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♦8 - Lead your singleton first. When you take the lead with the Ace of Spades, Hearts will be the transportation to your partner's hand to get some ruffs.
