Double Dummy Challenge #15**

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 - 15**

You are playing 5♦. West leads the ♠T. East wins with ♠A and continues with the ♠Q. You must make your contract against any defense. Good luck!

** Difficulty level: Medium.
















Solution:



Contract: 5♦. Lead: ♠10. Difficulty: **Medium.

East wins the ♠A and plays back another spade. Win the ♠K, enter dummy with a club and play a low diamond to the ♦Q. Play a 2nd club towards dummy and another low diamond to the ♦10. Get back to dummy on a 3rd club and ruff the last spade with the ♦4. Now play ♥AK and a 3rd heart to West's ♥Q. You have reached this position:



West will play one of his black cards and you will ruff it with the ♦8. If East overruffs with his ♦K – Play the ♦A and the ♦9 is high. If he underruffs with his ♦7 – discard the ♥7 and the ♦A will be your last trick.

Well done to everyone who solved the problem!
