Rusinow Leads
- A method using the lead of the second highest ranking card from touching
honors, as opposed the the standard treatment of leading the top of touching
honors. Rusinow Leads are generally used only on the first trick,
particularly against opponents' suit contract when partner has been silent
throughout the auction.
When
opponents' play a Notrump contract, players seldom use Rusinow Leads since
defenders have different strategies.
