*2NT: Jacoby, forcing to game with four-card support

 Your choice:
A: ♣8 - There is no reason to lead the Ace of Spades. Leading a Diamond could be too dangerous, so lead a Club, hoping to set up a second trick when you get on lead with the Ace of Spades.

Your result so far:
Open Question

*2NT: Jacoby, forcing to game with four-card support

 Your choice:
A: ♥8 - Even against a slam, a singleton is a great lead. You hope to make a ruff if your partner can play a second Heart before declarer draws trumps.

Your result so far:
Open Question

*2NT: Jacoby, forcing to game with four-card support

 Your choice:
A: ♣J - This time, you have an Ace. Therefore, your partner won't have an Ace to give you a ruff. Give up on leading your singleton, and lead the top of your Club sequence.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

*3♣: transfer to Diamonds

 Your choice:
A: ♣3 - This time, West will have a long Diamond suit. You need to try and set up a trick before your Ace is gone.

Your best shot is to lead a Club, hoping your partner has the Queen (or even the Jack with the Queen in dummy if declarer guesses wrong).
