Misplayed opening lead costs 3020 points in rubber bridge

In a rubber bridge hand from 1976, West’s club lead after East’s double of a slam caused South to make six hearts redoubled. The text argues a diamond lead would likely have defeated the slam, and East’s double reflected poor judgment, risking about 3000 points instead of a down one.

Unsolved Hand Risks in Ironclad Contract

A classic bridge deal shows South going down one despite four spades, as East’s early heart lead and savvy defense set up the loss. North’s takeout double of three clubs and South’s four spade bid frame the play, with East winning the heart queen and later forcing ruffs and trumps to break the contract. Tomorrow: Cast your bread upon the waters.
