Double Dummy Challenge #10**

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 #10 (difficulty: medium)



You are playing 7. West leads the ♠7. You must make your contract against any defense. Good luck!













Solution:
Ruff in hand, play a club to dummy's ♣A and ruff another spade. Ruff a club in dummy, come back to hand with a trump and ruff another club in dummy. Return to hand on another trump to reach this position:



Play another heart and throw a diamond from the table. Continue with the ♣K (and throw another diamond from the table). Now East is squeezed: If he throws another diamond – You will play the AK , ruff a spade and the last diamond in hand is high. If he lets a spade go, you will play a diamond to the K, ruff a spade, play another diamond to the A and enjoy the last high spade in dummy.

Well done to everyone who solved the problem!
