Here's one of the all-time-great opening leads.
Michael Rosenberg, as a young man, led the king
of hearts on this hand in a rubber bridge game in
London. Declarer won the ace, led a diamond to
dummy and a spade to his king. Rosenberg won
the ace and shifted to a club. Declarer won in
dummy and led a trump. When East showed
out, he let it ride. Rosenberg won the jack, put
partner in with the queen of hearts and received
his club ruff.

After an opening lead of a club, what would
happen? Nothing. East would never get in to
give West a ruff. If West shifted to the king
of hearts later, declarer would see the danger
and let the king of hearts hold. But by leading
the king of hearts, Rosenberg caught declarer
off guard.

How did Rosenberg know his partner held the
queen of hearts? He didn't. He just guessed
that the queen of hearts was the smallest card
possible in partner's hand for an entry for the
club ruff.

Have a nice weekend!
