 Leading Against Partscores by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, you will be on lead after your opponents have stopped in a partscore.

Will you get all the leads right?

Good luck!

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ K J 5 2
♥ A 6
♦ 9 6 2
♣ K 6 5 2 		 
Q: 1 - What do you lead as South?

---1♠

 Your choice:
A: ♦6 - Underleading an honor would be too dangerous. The lead of A x is way too risky; if your partner doesn't have the King, it would probably give a trick to declarer.

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ K 8 5 2
♥ 9 7 5 3
♦ A 2
♣ Q 9 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you lead as South?

-1♦Pass1 NT
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♥7 - You need to make a passive lead against 1 NT, to not risk giving away a trick too quickly. It will be better to lead a Heart than a Spade.

With four small cards, lead the second-highest.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A 6 5 4 2
♥ J 10 9
♦ Q 2
♣ 8 4 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you lead as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♣Pass1 NT
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♠4 - A five-card suit always makes for a good lead against No-trump contracts, even at the one-level.

You have good hopes of making two tricks by length. Even if you give away one trick in the process, it's still worth it.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 6
♥ A 6 5 2
♦ J 10 7
♣ K 6 5 4 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you lead as South?

 Your choice:
A: ♠6 - A singleton is a great lead, especially against partscores, since your partner has a greater chance of getting on lead to give you some ruffs.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ 5 2
♥ K 9 6
♦ A 4 3 2
♣ K 8 5 2 		 
Q: 5 - What do you lead as South?

---1♠

 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - Even though your partner bid Diamonds over your double, he has not promised good Diamonds. It's still too risky to lead away from an Ace without the King.

Lead a passive trump, which might prevent declarer from taking ruffs.
