Unusual Lead Dilemma in Bridge Play Revisited
The article analyzes a bridge bidding puzzle where an unusual lead hinges on whether the doubler has bid a suit. It notes that if opponents have bid exactly one suit besides the final trump the unusual lead targets that suit, and if both have bid distinct suits the double may influence the lead. West’s spade opening and East’s decisions are discussed, with East ultimately choosing profit over a risky underload.
