Winner List: ♠ = 3 : ♥ = 2 :
♦ = 3 : ♣ = 0 :: Total = 8
There is just no way your ninth winner can come from ♠s, ♥s, or ♦s. So by process of elimination you have to get a ♣ trick. Win the first trick, probably in your hand, and play a ♣. NEXT |

There is just no way your ninth winner can come from ♠s, ♥s, or ♦s. So by process of elimination you have to get a ♣ trick. Win the first trick, probably in your hand, and play a ♣. A defender will definitely win this, and probably continue ♠s (but if they switch you would play the same way). You win the ♠ and play another ♣. NEXT |

You were able to establish a ♣ because that suit split 3-2.
And you did it without going down because the ♠s split 4-3. This may seem lucky to you, but don't knock it, it was your ONLY chance. Deal 69 |
