Double Dummy Challenge #14**

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 - 14 (Difficulty : Medium)


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
















Solution:

Win the ♠A, come back to hand on the ♠K and finesse to the 10. Cash the K, return to hand with A and throw the last 2 hearts from dummy on the AJ. Ruff a heart with your last spade in dummy and come back to hand on the ♣K. Draw the last 2 trumps. This is the ending situation:



On the last spade West is squeezed: If he throws the K - your 3 becomes high, and if he throws the ♣J - your ♣A8 are high.

Well done to everyone who solved the problem!
