Deal 15 6♥ OL: ♠ A K	♠ 10 8 7 3 ♥ Q 10 ♦ K Q 6 ♣ A 9 7 5		When you looked at just your and dummy's cards on the previous page it may have looked impossible to find a twelfth winner. Even looking at all four hands here it is still very difficult to come up with a plan. Here's a hint: If West holds 3 ♣s, (and you see that he does), can you squeeze him in ♣s and ♠s?  NEXT

Deal 15 6♥ OL: ♠ A K	♠ 10 8 ♥ Q 10 ♦ K Q 6 ♣ A 9 7 5		Of course you ruffed the ♠K. The big problem with trying to squeeze West in the black suits right now is that East actually holds a ♠ guard. But you can fix that. Play dummy's ♥Q and ♥10, then ruff a ♠, then pull the last trump.  NEXT

Deal 15 6♥ OL: ♠ A K	♠ 10 ♥   ♦ K Q 6 ♣ A 9 7		Now play the ♦A, ♦K, and ♦Q, discarding the ♣3 from your hand. Then lead dummy's ♣7 to your ♣K.  NEXT

Deal 15 6♥ OL: ♠ A K	♠ 10 ♥   ♦   ♣ A 9		Here you are in your hand. Only West can guard dummy's ♠10, and only West can guard dummy's ♣9. So you play your ♥A and West must give up one of his guards. If he holds on to the ♠J then you toss dummy's useless ♠10. If he throws the ♠J then you toss dummy's ♣9.  Deal 16
