Although it is not recommended to lead from Ace-doubleton, the threat of Dummy\u2019s diamonds providing discards should entice you into choosing this aggressive lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>East should follow with the 7 of Hearts. He does not, in fact, know that his partner does not have the Ace-King of Hearts and, in any case, this is a situation where it is obligatory to give count in the suit by playing the second-highest from four small cards. He is therefore not at all responsible for this mishap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>West should correctly interpret the 7 of Hearts as count. He then has two options for beating the contract: hoping for the King of Hearts or the King of Clubs to be opposite. He should therefore, after the Ace of Hearts, cash the Ace of Clubs. If East encourages (which he will do spectacularly here by playing the King), West continues with Clubs. If East discourages, he should try his luck in Hearts. West is ordered to pay for the whole dinner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Advice<\/strong><\/p><p>On the lead of an ace against a suit contract, count is the signal that should take priority (unless Dummy holds three low cards or a singleton).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Deal 2: An enlightening signal?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-4-1-1024x934.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41920\" width=\"512\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-4-1-1024x934.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-4-1-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-4-1-768x700.jpg 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-4-1-1536x1401.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-4-1-2048x1868.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-3-1-1024x515.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41921\" width=\"512\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-3-1-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-3-1-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-3-1-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-3-1-1536x772.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-article-awaiting-the-verdict-3-1-2048x1029.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The facts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>West leads the Ace of Hearts to the 8, 2 and 4. 7 of Diamonds return. Declarer makes ten tricks and 3 Spades making with an overtrick gives the defence a global bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>West: \u201cSeeing what Dummy held in Clubs, it did not make sense for you to be asking for a club. So, I thought that it was a diamond that you wanted. You should have played the 9 of Hearts to ask for a trump.\u201d<\/li><li>East: \u201cI didn\u2019t know we could ask for a trump. I was trying to tell you that I had something in Clubs.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is there a guilty party? Who?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The verdict<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything lies in the interpretation of the 2 of Hearts. When there is a singleton in the dummy, the card played on the lead usually gives a suit-preference signal. A small card \u201casks\u201d for the lower of the two remaining suits and a big card for the higher. It is not possible to ask for a trump. However, some feel that when one follows with an honour, it is more for encouraging Partner to continue with the led suit. Here, East was brave to play the 2: a card full of meaning, as he could have played a murky 6. This 2 of Hearts is strongly signalling for Clubs. A very big heart would have been a strong preference for Diamonds. It goes without saying that this signal is not trying to get Partner to play a club but rather to reassure him that Declarer will not be able to make full use of the suit. West should have been more rigorous in his interpretation, deducing that it was necessary to cut down on ruffs by switching to a trump. In all likelihood, Declarer would have been unable to take more than eight tricks on this defence. West pays for dinner but East, a noble man, covers the aperitif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Advice<\/strong><\/p><p>On the lead of the Ace, when there is a singleton in the dummy, a suit-preference signal is used.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>More advice<\/strong><\/p><p>Except for when an honour is played, suit preference excludes the suit led and the trump suit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you think of this bridge article?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please share your view  in the <em>Comments<\/em> section below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Declarer sabotages his contract, or simply plays it badly, the person at fault is found quickly.
