Contract: 7©
Lead: §8
The Solution:
Declarer covers with the §9 and ruffs East’s queen. He cashes
the ace of diamonds then ruffs the ¨K, takes a heart finesse, then
ruffs the ¨Q and repeats the heart finesse.
The ace of hearts is cashed, throwing a low spade from dummy, and
now declarer leads to the ªQ, leads the §J, covered and ruffed,
leads to the ªK for another club, covered and ruffed, and finally
crosses to the ace of spades to cash the established club at trick
thirteen.
