Lead and opening strategies in bridge from Oswald and Jacoby
In a discussion on opening leads and counting for the final contract, Oswald and Jacoby explain the two parts of an opening lead problem, emphasize the fourth best rule against no trump, and illustrate with a hand where West’s fourth best spade lead yields four tricks after a diamond effort. They note deviations from the rule may suit the situation, and suggest alternating leads if it threatens partner.
