Swiss teams lead 1


Recommended Posts

[hv=pc=n&w=sajxhkjxxd9xxcktx&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=3cp3nppp]133|200| Swiss Teams Lead 1. Assuming the auction on the left, I rank

1. . Attacking. Requires only 1 honour from partner. Your K seems badly placed, so you might need to take the 1st 5 tricks.

2. Safe. And partner might have overcalled or doubled with majors.

3. A. Might surrender a trick and a tempo. But might give you a 2nd chance to get the lead right.

4. x. Unlikely to work.

5. . :) [/hv]

Small looks standard, but if declarer/dummy has A and Q it's not going anywhere surely? Has dummy a singleton Q and leading K was preferable? Not something I would have considered at the table.

I got lots of leads wrong today. First:-

 

Ajx

Kjxx

9xx

Ktx

 

Favourable vul. Lho opens 3c, rho bids 3nt. Your lead.

 

I don't see us beating this without some luck and a great deal of aggression. I'm leading a spade honour. Probably the A in practice, but playing the J might put declarer's Kxx under more pressure if P can overtake from such as QT9xx.

This is the only one I think was an error - I led a plebeian heart. I think ace of spades must be right. With kxx clubs under the adverse preempt they're making if we can't cash 5 immediately. If partner has the ace of hearts he'll still have it at T2.
