Hi Maggie, thanks for another great video, but I’m puzzled as to why East would lead the club queen at trick 3 of the second example? Wasn’t that a mistake on their part?

[@oasisbridgetuition]

Thanks Bob. Yes I’d prefer to play the 4, seeing KJ in dummy - although the Q is a loser anyway on this layout, so I don’t think it makes a difference to the end score.

Thank you. I have made that mistake before. Do you have a written summary of your videos?

[@oasisbridgetuition]

Not at the moment, sorry.

I don't see why east would lead the queen of clubs. You'll not have time to ruff clubs and you are just sparing declarer a guess. Safest exit is probably a (high) trump hoping partner has a spade honour.

Thanks for this.
