Active lead
Passive
The killer lead!
You’ve got a great
lead and eager to
get to it.
You haven’t got a
great lead – be
passive and don’t
give a cheap trick

Lead low from something – she
has an honour in this suit
Probably 4 – maybe 3
It’s a poor lead – so hasn’t got
touching honours in another
suit that hasn’t been bid –
trumps is alternative here and
yet has decided not to lead
trump –maybe has only 1 – or
two to an honour.

Rule of 11
Subtract the card led from
eleven; the answer is the
number of cards which are
higher than that, in the
other three hands.
In other words it will tell you a lot about declarer’s
hand.

Low means no!
High for Hate!
High – Low = an even number of cards
Low – High = an odd number of cards
It’s central to leads
But that’s another

The Low lead
High from nothing, low from
something. Not usually first choice.
Telling your partner that you’ve got
something in that suit.

When do I lead trumps?
1) When other suits are unsafe to lead.
2) When you have a good defensive holding
in declarer’s second suit.
3) When ops have made an immediate jump
in trump suit – planning on ruffing?
4) When you double for takeout – but partner
passes, converting it to penalties.

In a slam – do I lead my ace?
Yes, if by leading it you
defeat the contract.
No if you don’t. Try, with
your P to set up a trick, get
back in with Ace – and
take two.

partner’s suit
Ace if you have it, and then High

Three step
Guide to
finding the

1) Go for the Great lead. If not there...
2) Eliminate the must not leads.

will get declarer down!

Listen to the bidding!
Think Shape
Partner’s Suit
Unbid Suit
Examples:
* The opps bid 5 clubs or 5 diamonds.
They will be weak in one suit or else they would have finished in 3 NT. Lead your strongest suit.
* The Opps are in 3NT by a circuitous route
They probably do not have a an 8 card fit in a major. If you have a doubleton in a major – partner
probably has at least four: Lead the heart doubleton.
* The Opps are in 6 Spades. You Hold: S A4 H 10875 D 9764 C QJ10
In a slam don’t play your ace unless you know it will
set them straight away. Queen of Clubs looks
attractive but think shape. How many diamonds can
partner have? Lead a diamond, when you get in with
Ace of spades give partner a diamond ruff. Down
one.
