Correction of exercises

b) the risk of an overtrump in Diamonds to the left and therefore the necessity of trumping with a master

So, good timing: King of Diamonds, 4 for the Ace, 5of Diamonds trumped by the King of Trumps, trump for the 10, 6 of Diamonds trumped by the Ace of Trumps, trump for the Jack; the 9 of Diamonds to discard the 3 of Hearts, Jack of Hearts trumped by the last Trump; one will just concede a single Club trick … (advice 17.1).
