Deal 18 4♠ OL: ♥K	♠ K 6 ♥ 8 5 4 2 ♦ K 8 7 2 ♣ 9 5 4		South is to play 4♠. West leads the ♥K. Losers:   ♠ = 0   ♥ = 1   ♦ = 0   ♣ = 3   Total = 4 This is a very easy problem to be up here at number 18! Clearly you have to discard one of those 4 losers on the only card dummy has, the ♦K. Just as clearly you have to be able to enter dummy after you unblock the ♦ A Q so you can't pull trumps immediately. So here's the Plan. Win the ♥A. Pull one round of trumps with the ♠A. Play the ♦ A Q to get them out of the way. Enter dummy with the ♠K. Play the ♦K, discard a loser, and hope nobody ruffs.  NEXT
