Book Synopsis
The fate of many a contract hangs on the opening lead, making it the most important play in the whole hand. The Golden Rules of Opening Leads is an excellent guide to this frequently neglected aspect of the game. If you study it carefully, you should find that picking the best lead comes naturally from what you hear in the auction and what you see in your head.
