Normal lead, but . . . |
Hugh Ross made his normal opening lead - fourth best from his longest and strongest - on this deal from the third final session of the Société Générale Open Pairs.
Ross led the ¨5. Imagine his surprise when dummy had a singleton and his partner showed out! When the Chinese declarer won with the 6 and knocked out the ¨A, he suddenly had 10 tricks for just about all the matchpoints. Once in a while a notrump bid on a hand like that pays off. With a heart opening lead, the contract will go down - probably two tricks. |
