Menu Vu-Bridge | Play like a Champion!

 Five times by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, you will have five hands to lead from, with declarer having only shown one suit.

Maybe you will recognize the hands as you go further, but the bidding will be different each time.

Good luck.

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ Q 6 5 2
♥ 7 6 5
♦ A 6
♣ K 9 6 5 		 
Q: 1 - What do you lead as South?

 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - A Spade is the least dangerous lead.

East's suit hasn't been supported. Therefore, a trump lead could be fatal, giving declarer a finesse he couldn't take, if, for instance, dummy has a void in Hearts.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ Q 6 5 2
♥ 7 6 5
♦ A 6
♣ K 9 6 5 		 
Q: 2 - What do you lead as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♥
Pass1 NTPass3♥
Pass4♥PassPass
Pass


 Your choice:
A: ♥5 - Yes, it's the same hand, but the sequence is not the same. This time, West has a Heart fit, so a trump lead is unlikely to give anything away. Declarer could no doubt finesse against your partner on any lead.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ Q 6 5 2
♥ 7 6 5
♦ A 6
♣ K 9 6 5 		 
Q: 3 - What do you lead as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---2♥
Pass4♥PassPass
Pass


 Your choice:
A: ♣5 - Same hand again, but a different sequence. This time, the strength is in dummy. Therefore, you need to lead aggressively, to set up your tricks before declarer can set up his.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ Q 6 5 2
♥ 7 6 5
♦ A 6
♣ K 9 6 5 		 
Q: 4 - What do you lead as South?

 Your choice:
A: ♦A - You have a probable trump trick. Cash your Ace and wait for your ♠Q to score.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

 Your choice:
A: ♥5 - With the strong hand on your right, it's better to lead a passive trump and let declarer take (and maybe lose) his own finesses.
