| Contract is Spades. South to lead. Win 5 tricks. | |||||||||||||
| Solution: Play any small diamond and ruff it with the ace of spades! Now lead the 2 of spades finessing East for the queen. Another round of trump pulls the last of the defender's trump cards and South is left with only good diamonds, taking all five tricks. | |||||||||||||
