A lead problem
from the Manchester League, St Titus vs Team Mayhem.
Love All. IMPs Dealer South
North South were
playing Precision so one spade showed five spades and a maximum of 15
points. Four clubs was a control bid agreeing spades and four
hearts was a control bid denying a diamond control. What do you
lead?
The St Titus player led the six of diamonds. The full deal was as below.
Can South
be blamed for suspecting a singleton lead? She won the diamond
ace and
played a club to hand, relying on the trump finesse to make her
contract. One off and 14 IMPs to St Titus.
