Your 4 ♠ tricks, 2 ♥ tricks, 1 ♦
trick and 4 ♣ tricks are very easy to find. But that's only 11, so where in
the world can you possibly find number 12?
With all those high ♦s falling on the first two tricks dummy's ♦ 9 has become a threat against West. If it should happen that West also holds the only ♥ stopper you can squeeze him in the red suits. NEXT |

It is time.
Play your ♠J and watch what West discards. If he holds on to the ♦10 you will discard dummy's useless ♦9 and hope the ♥s all fall under the ♥ A K. If he discards the ♦10 then you throw dummy's small ♥ and dummy wins the last three tricks. Deal 11 |
