Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ 6

♦ A 9 6 5 2
♣ J 10 9 8 		 
Q: 3 - What do you lead as South?

 Your choice:
A: ♣J - This is not the same situation as the previous deal. Here you have an Ace, so your partner can't have one. Leading your singleton would only help declarer.

Lead your Club sequence, hoping you can set up a trick there before it's too late.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A 6 5 2
♥ 6 4
♦ 8 3
♣ J 10 8 7 6

4♦ - Long and solid Diamonds with a Heart fit.

 Your choice:
A: ♠A - Declarer will be able to discard his losers on dummy's Diamonds. Lead your Ace before it goes away, hoping that your partner will provide a second trick.

This is even more important at matchpoints, where there's a big difference between 980 and 1010.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

 Your choice:
A: ♣4 - Your partner has made a Lightner double. Against a suit contract slam, this usually shows a void or asks for a lead of dummy's first bid suit. Here, he probably has a Club void. Lead a small Club.
