INSURING A RUFF
THERE IS A lone case when mak
ing a singleton lead averages better
than making opening lead of the
suit originally called by partner. This
is when the player leading the sin
gleton has what he deems a certain
stop to of trumps and at
least one trump available for ruffing
the suit of which he holds the sin
gleton. The following hand well il
lustrates such a case.

Had North made an opening lead

have fulfilled his contract, as ttye
only other defensive trick would have
been a trump trick going to the K.
Instead of stodgy play, North led his

Declarer saw two possible ways of
going game. The first was to lead
off top trumps, hoping that North

and an extra heart to insure the ruff.
The second possible way to go gam©
was in case North held the Q of

made the opening hid.

from South’s hand the best chance
for game appeared to be to risk the
spade finesse and discard a losing
