Find the Best Opening Lead in Bridge: A book of opening lead problems

By Christo Moskovsky

Opening leads are widely recognised as one of the trickiest elements of bridge. The opening leader is at a strong disadvantage, because the information available at the time of the opening lead is severely limited. No bridge player has been spared the exasperation of realizing they have made an inadequate opening lead, often enabling the opposition to make an otherwise unmakeable contract. Poor opening leads perhaps cost more tricks than any other aspect of the game. This book is a practical guide to opening leads designed as a resource to help beginners and intermediate bridge players improve their skill at this challenging aspect of the game. The reader is presented with several dozen opening lead problems (each harvested from an actual game) and is invited to: = examine the bidding auction = assess their own hand = evaluate the potential merit of several possible opening leads. The reader is then provided with the full deal, as well as detailed analyses of the relative effectiveness of the different opening lead options. The book also offers related commentary on bidding and card play.
