 Leading at the 1-level by Matthias Huberschwiller

Your opponents have stopped at the 1-level and you are on lead.

Will you find the best leads?

Good luck!

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ A 6 3 2
♥ K 9 6 2
♦ 10 3
♣ A 4 2 		 
Q: 1 - What do you lead as South?

---1♦
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♥2 - Don't lead from an Ace without the King.

A Diamond lead could blow a trick very quickly from 10 x. Lead a Heart. You only need one honor in your partner's hand for it to be good.

Your result so far:
Open Question

♠ A 4 3 2
♥ 5

 Your choice:
A: ♥5 - Even at the 1-level, a singleton lead is a good one.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ K 9 6 3
♥ 9 8 7
♦ A 5 3
♣ J 7 3 		 
Q: 3 - What do you lead as South?

---1 NT
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♥8 - Against 1NT, it's best to make a passive lead, to not give away a trick immediately. Lead your second-best Heart and wait for your partner to play Spades from his side.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ Q 8 2
♥ A 6 3
♦ 8 3
♣ A Q 10 6 3

 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - You want your partner on lead to play Clubs. He has values everywhere since he made a take-out double. Underleading the ♠Q is not risky because partner will probably have something there.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ 9 6 2
♥ Q 3
♦ A Q 9 3
♣ J 10 3 2

 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - West did not support Spades. He must be weak with feeble Spade support. Lead a trump to prevent them from cross-ruffing.
