  • OPENING LEADS and SIGNALS Leading From
    OPENING LEADS AND SIGNALS Leading from a Sequence A sequence consists of two or more cards in consecutive order of rank e.g. K Q J or Q J 10 9. A holding such as K Q 10 or Q J 9 is called a broken sequence. Leading from the top of a sequence is usually the best opening lead that you can make, for two reasons 1. It is a safe lead i.e. it has a low risk of giving away a trick. 2. It gives partner accurate information about your holding. Lead the A from a A K (You need to have a partnership agreement about this) Lead the K from K Q J x or K Q 10 x Lead the Q from Q J 10 x or Q J 9 x Lead the J from J 10 9 x Lead the J from A J 10 9 x (the top of an interior sequence against no-trump) Do not lead the Q from Q J x x unless partner has bid the suit You don’t usually lead K from K Q x x but later in the play it may be desirable The Attitude Signal Sitting in third seat, you normally play a high card if you want the suit continued and a low card if you do not want the suit continued.

    Opening Leads 195, Lesson 1 page 1 Bridge Today University Opening Leads BTU 195, with the Granovetters SAMPLE Class 1 First 4 pages of 9 pages Let's begin with a basic rule that separates the men from the boys: Against suit contracts, don't lead aces (without the king). At least, try not to. The lead of an unsupported ace against a partscore or game contract is often disastrous, yet many people do it all the time. In our book, "Murder at the Bridge Table," we reported a (fic- titious) newspaper headline that reads: Bridge Player Found Dead After Leading an Ace. One of the deals used in evidence (the hand-records were pinned to his shirt) from the previous night's duplicate was this one: K 9 8 7 10 8 6 4 Q 10 J 7 6 5 4 3 J 10 A 5 Q J 9 7 2 K 9 7 6 2 J 8 4 K Q 4 8 5 2 A Q 6 2 K 3 A 5 3 A 10 9 3 West North East South 1D pass 1H 1S pass 2S pass 4S (all pass) West led the ace of hearts and the contract was made. Declarer was able to lead a diamond toward dummy and establish a discard of one of dummy's clubs. The club suit then ruffed out and declarer lost a heart, a diamond and a club. After a more traditional lead of the club king (touching honors), de- clarer must lose four tricks. This hand was one of many that caused his partner to take bloody revenge after the game! With this in mind, let's look at when we DO lead aces.

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.
