tjigtcfonnrree press thursday may 26 1966 let play bridge by bill coats the question that i am asked the most about contract bridge is how do you know what to lead i usually resort to an answer that i read in one of charles gorens books the best lead is ace from ace kina queen now this answer is quite good in fact it has only one slight drawback most of us are not lucky enough to hold ace king queen in a suit when we have to make an opening lead the an swer to the original question is not easy one must look at all the types of leads and decide which one to use at which time if it were not for the human clement in bridge the game would become completely mech anical however some generaliza tions can be made for instance a lead from a sequence is usual ly a safe lead it may not win tricks but it usually doesnt give any away either here is an ex ample from last week at the ac ton bridge club dealer is south neither side is vulnerable north s 7 4 3 h 0 10 8 3 2 d a 10 5 c 3 2 west s 10 9 2 hj5 d k qj64 cq9 8 east s ko h k 7 6 4 d 9 8 2 ca 7 6 5 south s a j 8 6 5 h a 9 d 7 3 c k j 10 4 the bidding south west north east 1 s pass 1 nt pass 2 c pass 2 s all pass south took a chance in bidding spades before clubs but the gamble paid off it kept west from making a cheap diamond overcall west lead the heart jack cov ered in dummy with the queen east contributed the king and declarer won with the ace after such a lucky fall of cards de clarer must quickly get ouf trump so he lead a low spade won by east east rather me- chatiically returned a heart won by south now the trump ace caught easts king and a third trump took out wests last spade the diamond ace provided the one and only entry to three good hearts in dummy after discard ing a diamond and two clubs on dummys heart a club is led and the best that east can do lis take his ace dealer lost only a club and a spade imagine declarers surprise when he looked at the other re sults on the same set of hands i club by south down 2 3 spades by south down 1 2 spades by south down 1 this last result occurred twice of course you have spotted the reason wests opening lead is the culprit if west had just led from his diamond sequence the defence could take one spade one heart one diamond and two clubs at a minimum and more if declarer isnt care ful leads from sequences are us ually quite safe they dont give away tricks last week at the acton bridge club we had the largest turnout of the year there were seven tables in play so we used a mitchell movement which pro duced winners in both the northsouth and eastwest di
