Spades are trumps. South leads and N-5 must win all eight tricks, Solutions

SOLUTION TO PROBLEM 32
South lends a small club and North ruffs West's king North leads a tmall diamond to South's king South also wins club pack, on which West dis- cards a diamond and North a spade. South leads small club, which North ruffs, and on which West dis- cards diamond jack.
North leads the last trump, and whatever East discards, a spade or club, South discards his remaining the reverse; East feels he must kup his mater club, and therefore dis- cards a spade, and South therefore discards his club nine. But West is now squeezed; if he discards his dia- mond, North's eight is good, and It he discards a spade, South wins two
elther spades. Therefore, in
case North-South wins all seven tricks.
In reply to A.E.G, I am sorry but solution has been destroyed. Ap parently
