Solution
- This hand must be played as a dummy reversal.
- Forget all about the spade suit. South wins the opening lead and trumps a small club.
- Dummy is entered first with the K of diamonds and then with the Ace of diamonds in order to trump two more clubs.
- Having collected six trick, declarer exits with his last diamond and cannot be prevented from ruffing dummy’s last diamond with one of his spade honours.
