Solution
- South must play a dummy reversal.
- The first trick is won in dummy and South trumps a heart.
- Dummy is entered with A and K of diamonds and A clubs so 5that declarer can trump three more hearts with the A, K and Q of spades.
- Dummy is entered by playing the eight of spades so that South can trump a diamond with his last spade – the 7 declarer losing only two club tricks.
