Oren's Double Dummy Challenge #25****

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.

Oren's Double Dummy Challenge - 25****

You are playing 6♥ West lead the ♦ Q. You must make your contract against any defense. Good luck!!!
---
**** Difficulty level: evil.













Solution: 


Win the lead with the ♦K and play another diamond. If East ruffs it he will continue either a club or a spade. Ruff a club and a spade then play the ♦A and a heart to the ♥K. If East doesn't ruff, win the ♦A and play a 3rd diamond to West's hand, discarding a spade from dummy. Win any return from West, ruff a club and a spade and play a heart to the ♥K (or, if West returns a heart, win with the ♥K, ruff spade and ruff club). In short, no matter how opponents play you will adjust your play to reach this ending:



Continue with the ♥Q and East is squeezed: If he throws a spade: Play a low heart from hand, ruff spade, ruff club, ruff spade and spades are high. If he throws a club: Overtake the ♥Q with the ♥A, ruff club, ruff spade, ruff club and the clubs are high.

Well done to everyone who solved the problem!
