A frozen suit is defined as a suit that neither declarer nor the defenders can attack without helping the opponents; in short, the side who leads the suit first loses. In your play of the hand, though, you can sometimes force defenders to help you - whether they want to or not! We will look at an example of a hand in which your opponents are left with no choice but to help you and guarantee making your contract.

Play AC, draw trumps, eliminate hearts, discarding a club. Exit with the club and claim as the defence must either break the diamonds or give you a ruff and discard (discarding a diamond from hand).

Great explanation. Why can’t I think like that?

In my experience of playing on Funbridge, an opening lead finesse in a trump contract ALWAYS fails. They never, ever lead away from a king - no idea if this is done in real life though.

[@d95mback]

The robots are for sure very reluctant to lead away from a king, especially in suit contracts. But so am I. It's often a terrible lead, almost as bad as leading from an ace. Looking at simulations, for instance the book "Winning Suit Contract Leads" by David Bird & Taf Anthias shows this clearly. Leading from K-J or K-10 is especially bad.
