TWO4BRIDGE Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 [hv=pc=n&s=sha95dc&w=sht72dc&n=shqj8dc&e=shk643dc]399|300[/hv] The lead is the ♥Q from dummy . If East covers, then Declarer may get 3 tricks from the suit if he next finesses for the Ten . If East Ducks, then Declarer can only get 2 tricks .

Cyberyeti Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's just standard that you cover the second touching honour in this situation, but I've never heard a name/rule for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 It is not a bad rule of thumb not to cover the first honour led from a sequence unless it is obvious to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think you need to be a bit clearer to make your point here.If you don't cover the first time, you get to lead away from your king the next time.
