Oren's Double Dummy Challenge -
21**
Against 6NT West leads the ♣K. Good luck!
---
** Difficulty level: medium.
Solution:
Win in hand with the A♣ (throw a diamond from dummy) and continue with a heart to the ♥T when West plays the ♥9.
Play now the ♠8 to the ♠J and continue with the ♠Q, giving the ♠7 from dummy.
Continue with your 2nd heart from hand, finessing to the ♥Q when West tries the ♥J.
Cash the ♥A, dropping West's ♥K and next play the high ♥6, unblocking the ♠AK from hand!
You have now reached this position:
Play now the ♠2 from dummy, forcing East to win the trick with the ♠5. East has to return a diamond. Cover whatever West is playing, and diamonds are high.
Well done to everyone who solved the problem!
On BBO you say the solution is to endplay East, but can't you squeeze W and endplay him?

Heartfiness
Take out the 2 hearts
Back to hand playing 3 rounds of spade
W now have to discard 3 cards (when haveing 0-0-3-4 left)
He has to discard clubs since otherwise we'll get our 12th trick in diamonds. So in the end we can loose one club to W who now how to play a diamond from Q109? Or did I miss something.... :)
Then we'll get 4S, 4H, 3D, 1C
