Double dummy analyser: makeable contracts
West cashed two top trumps and saw South show out on the second round. With dummy's trumps sitting over North it seemed straightforward to cash diamondAK and spadeA, ruff a spade and exit with a heart. clubQ9 would be sitting over North' supposed clubJ8. It was a sound plan until North ruffed diamondK and cashed heart10 for one off.

Some of you will have spotted two winning lines.
