The French system, \u201cpair-impair\u201d is very similar to American standard count. With four small cards, the usual rule is to lead a high card, then play a smaller one to show an even number. Normally, we lead second best so that it is as clear as possible. That way, we show an even number of cards without an honor. It was decided not to lead the highest card, which is normally reserved for the lead from a doubleton. Finally, we lead the third highest from a suit headed by an honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High-level players have decided that in situations where a fit was established (after a raise that showed at least three cards), they would lead the highest if they had no honor. This is because there could be no ambiguity with the doubleton since they had shown a real fit. It turned out that it was much easier to read a card such as the 9 or 8 and deduce that the lead came from four cards and not three and that it was denying an honor.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-EN-WL-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83905\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If your partner leads the 6 of Hearts following French standard, you have a hard time knowing if he has Q86x or 8642. On the other hand, if he uses the technique we suggest and leads the 8, you have no trouble locating the stiff Queen in declarer\u2019s hand. The 8 of Hearts cannot be third best from a four-card suit headed by an honor. In this case, you go up with the Ace while on the lead of the 6 of Hearts, you have a real problem: finesse in order not to give declarer the opportunity of a discard or go up with the Ace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-EN-WL-3-1024x971.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83906\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\"><strong>2- The lead of an Ace or King after a pre-emptive opening by opponent<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation: Declarer opened 3&#x2660; and your left-hand opponent signed off at 4&#x2660;. You are on lead and hold the following hand:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hand-4-EN-WL-1024x313.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83907\" style=\"width:600px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Reminder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you probably know, after a pre-emptive opening and sign-off at game level by responder, leading an Ace even without the King is not only authorized, it is recommended. This is because you must not lead neutrally in this situation if you have no opposition in the trump suit. Indeed, declarer may be able to quickly ride home with ten tricks coming from his long trump suit and one side suit that offers quick tricks and the chance of discarding losers that you could have cashed right from trick one. Leading an Ace allows you to see the dummy and thus often to find out what you should play next. On the other hand, there is less chance of freeing a King in declarer\u2019s hand when most honor points are probably in dummy, seeing that opener is weak<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The American champions decided a long time ago that after that type of auctions, the lead of an Ace denied the King. Therefore, when they hold Ace-King or King-Queen, they lead the King. Why? You have certainly understood it: it\u2019s done so that partner only signals encouragement if he holds the King in his hand. When leading the Ace, you therefore expect a discouraging or an encouraging signal, but the latter only with the King and not with the Queen, which however is usually the case. Have a look at the following example to see how that works:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramm-5-WL-EN-1024x881.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83909\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If your partner leads the Ace of Hearts, promising the King or, at least, not denying it, it is very complicated not to signal interest with the 9 when you hold Queen-third. If West continues with another Heart, declarer cashes the remaining twelve tricks. On the other hand, if the lead of the Ace denies the King as we suggest, it\u2019s easy for East to play the 3 to show no interest in the suit. West will have no other choice but to shine by switching to the Jack of Diamonds. Declarer will then have no solution, whether he plays the Queen or not. You\u2019ll capture the Queen if he doesn\u2019t play it. If he does play the Queen, you then catch the 10 with your King-9 behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-fc21713\" data-block-id=\"fc21713\"><style>.stk-fc21713{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\"><strong>3 &#8211; Which card to play when you know that partner will run<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reminder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you know that your partner will not be able to return the suit that is being played, you must give a preference indicating the suit that you want him to return. This is the rule of thumb that you should use when you know your partner was singleton and is going to ruff your return. Obviously, you want him to put you on lead again so that you can give him another ruff or cash out high cards. The principle is quite well known, you must play a high card to ask your partner to return the higher of the remaining suits (except the suit that is being played and the trump suit). And if you play your smallest card, he should return the lower suit. This works very well and there is no question of changing this way of doing things. The purpose of this paragraph is to complement the rule and therefore to improve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A . You must play a card high enough to force declarer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The opponents play 4 Spades after a 1&#x2660; over\u0002call by South, on the lead of the 2 of Hearts by your partner.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-6-WL-EN.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83910\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You take the Ace and you probably imagine partner has a singleton Heart because with King-third he may have raised you. Therefore, you need to return a Heart. But it is out of the question to play a small preferential card such as the 4 to ask for a Club return (the cheapest suit). After all, in that case, declarer could insert the 10 and only lose two tricks in the suit (the Ace and the ruff). Even if your partner understood the meaning of the 4 and played a Club, you couldn\u2019t give him another ruff because he can\u2019t have more than one trump. You must therefore play a high enough card to force declarer to go up with the King, so that your partner can ruff the king, not the ten. But how do you go about both playing a forcing card and giving preference for Clubs? Well, it was decided that when you return an honor to force declarer (so Queen, Jack or 10), the Queen or 10 were preferential for the higher suit while the Jack was preferential for the lower suit. You are ready! Return the Jack for South\u2019s King and partner to ruff with his singleton trump. Partner then returns a Club and you win with either the Ace or Queen, depending on which card declarer calls for from dummy. Then you carefully cash the Queen of Hearts for a sure one down before trying to cash another Club, which is ruffed. If your partner had returned a Diamond, declarer\u2019s losing Heart would disappear and he would make his contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full deal:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-7-WL-EN-1-1024x971.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83911\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-a61b8eb\" data-block-id=\"a61b8eb\"><style>.stk-a61b8eb{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">B- You have opened with a pre-empt and have several options for the preferential card<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You have opened with a pre-empt and have several options for the preferential card<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagramme-8-WL-EN.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83912\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Your partner opens 3&#x2665; and South overcalls 3&#x2660;. North declines to raise. So, you have led the 2 of Hearts for the 5, Ace and 9. Then partner returned the Heart 8 to give you a ruff as South plays the Queen. Now that you\u2019ve ruffed, what are you playing next? The 8 of Hearts is the highest card and, as such, should be a preference for Diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But what does he signal with? With a singleton or with the King? <\/strong>If your partner has the King, you have to play a small card. If he has a singleton, it is necessary to play the Ace of Diamonds and a Diamond to at least limit declarer to just made. You have a 50% chance of choosing the wrong card unless you adopt our little convention. An odd card indicates a singleton (mnemonic: a singleton is an odd number of cards). While an even card indicates an honor: the Ace or the King (or even the Queen if the Ace or the King are visible in dummy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 8 of Hearts therefore shows not only a preference for the Diamonds, but precisely the King. You can switch to a small Diamond to beat this contract.
