Here is your hand:
♠KQ87
♥9875
♦862
♣84
You are on lead against 2
♥. Your Partner opened the bidding 1NT (15 to 17) and the Opponents settled in 2
♥. You decide to lead a ♠. What card in the ♠ suit do you lead?
Show Answer
The K♠
Do NOT lead your fourth best ♠. In a trump contract you can lead the top of TWO touching honours. In a NT contract you need to lead top of THREE touching honours.
If you lead a low ♠ Declarer got to win their J♠ and still had their A♠. You do not get a ♠ trick. If you lead the K♠ you forced out Declarer's A♠ and will score a trick with your Q♠.
