Bridge Quiz 12-2 Previous - Quiz Page - Next When Dummy is on Defender's left lead through Dummy's strength ! In this case a small ♦. Why ?   Because Dummy must play a card before it is Partner's turn. Therefore Dummy's high card can not capture (E) Defender's high card.* Look, it works out fine here. But now the next lead has become East's problem. What is he going to lead next ? * If Declarer does have a high card in Dummy's strong suit, no harm is done, for in that case Defender (East) does not have a high card in the suit anyway.
