Double Dummy Challenge #2*

The rules are simple. You get the contract and the lead. You may look at all cards and play accordingly (you are always South). However, the defense can do the same, and they never make mistakes. You must find a way to make the contract against any defense.

Challenge #2* (difficulty: easy)

The contract is 6NT. West leads the ♦2. Make your contract against any defense. Good luck!











Solution:
Win the ♦A (discard a club from dummy), play 2 high hearts, enter dummy with a high club and finesse spade. Play 2 more rounds of spades, dropping East’s king on the way. Re-enter dummy with another high club and play your 4th spade, pitching the ♥A on it! West will win and continue heart, as he only has hearts left. Win the trick with the ♥10 and discard the ♣10 from your hand. The clubs in dummy are high now and you can throw your diamonds on the high clubs. Well done to everyone who solved the problem!
