Win TD pitching the AC. Run four clubs pitching hearts. West is now stripped down to five spades. Ruff a club with the TS. West can't overruff because leading away from the 9S is fatal for the defense. Now a low spade towards dummy. West must duck else declarer claims with high trumps. After reaching dummy with the JS, ruff a heart with the KS. West once again can't overruff because there is no safe exit. Now another low spade towards dummy and you must get your QS at the end. You have taken two diamonds, 4 clubs, and four trumps. ****************************************************** I received correct solutions from: zehntel!carol houxz!halle1
