The return, ana West runs the

South 10 save himself.
There is oaly one 3ituation,
among all the possible ones. in
which the j lead is worse than
the 7. That is when South holds
three headed by the Q. In that
event. the J lead denables South TO
make his contract. If East ducks.
South wins with the Q and runs
his winning tricks. If East uses
the a. South plays low. and on the
return uses his 10 to force the K,
leaving his Q high. With that sit
uation. the z lead would beat the
contract. as East could put on his
a and return low one through
the Q up to the K-J. assuring
run of the suit.
The greatest danger of the j
lead. however. is that it DESTROYS
somewhat the conventional mean
