 Which Suit? by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, you might not be sure of which suit to lead.

Will you find all the right leads, looking at your hand and the bidding sequence?

Good luck!

 Your choice:
A: ♠K - With two broken sequences with the same number of supporting cards, you need to lead the one with the highest honor.

You will set up tricks quicker in Spades than in Diamonds.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

♠ K 8 4 2
♥ Q 8 4 2
♦ 10 3
♣ A 4 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you lead as South?

 Your choice:
A: ♥2 - With a lone honor in both majors and no clue from the auction, you need to look at the rank of the honors.

Underleading a Queen is safer than underleading a King. Therefore, lead a Heart.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ Q 7 5 2
♥ A 5
♦ Q 7 5 2
♣ 9 3 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you lead as South?

 Your choice:
A: ♦2 - You have exactly the same holdings in Spades and Diamonds.

Look at the bidding sequence. West has bid Stayman, but has no Heart fit. He has four Spades, so lead a Diamond.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 8 6 2
♥ 9 8 7 6 5
♦ 2
♣ A K 8 3

*Jacoby, forcing to game with four-card Spade support

 Your choice:
A: ♣A - You have two really good leads: the ♣A and the singleton Diamond.

You should prefer the Ace lead, since you will get to see dummy, and then decide at trick 2 if it's right to play your singleton.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ J 9 6
♥ A 8 5 2
♦ K 7 2
♣ Q 6 4 		 
Q: 5 - What do you lead as South?

 Your choice:
A: ♣4 - You will have to lead away from an honor. You can't lead a trump, which could blow a trick if your partner has something there. You can't lead a Heart from the Ace either.

You need to underlead your smallest minor-suit honor. It will be safer, or less risky, to lead a Club.
