akwoo Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 I already got my answer from Bridgewinners, but I think this is a good lesson hand. Answer is apparently obvious to experts, but not so for intermediates. [hv=pc=n&n=sa93ha92d4c987432&e=s862hj5daqj852cqt&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=p2d2h4d4hppp]266|200[/hv] Partner leads the K of diamonds. Presumably you overtake. What do you return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 ♦K is an unusual lead, for my partnership anyway.I'm returning a spade, I don't think there is any hurry to play clubs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepossum Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Trying not to read other commentsIt would depend how I felt on the dayI would probably lead the Queen of clubsThe upside down diagram confused me for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Overtake the D and lead a S is the obvious defence. There are one or two holdings where this may be wrong, but I see no reason not to do the obvious here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agree. Anyway, we know that the ♥ suit is a favorable break, so why set up dummy's long suit for declarer's ♠ discards? we need to attack the ♠ suit at trick 2.
