DDA Opening Lead. Q♠ is good. it beats a low spade by ~0.1 av tricks, which in turn beats a low heart by 0.04 av tricks, which in turn beats the Q♣ by 0.03, which in turn beats a low club by 0.06. The K♦ of course trails in last by a whopping 0.5 tricks.
Note that in both black suits it was better to lead from the adjacent honour sequence rather then a low card. And that even a poor doubleton major is better than a reasonable minor suit lead.
