Souths risk and a seven no trump reach in bridge
South, with North in three hearts, pursued a slam after Blackwood five no trump. West led diamonds, dummy cleared trumps and clubs, and South eyed a potential seven no trump but misplay risks surfaced.

Bridge puzzle on fourth club endplay and diamond ruff
In the North A743 deal, South must decide after West opens and East holds specific diamonds. The play shows a fourth club lead, endplay of West, and a diamond ruff for South. if East owns the queen of diamonds, the defense changes, but West may also open diamonds without queen backing.
