Solution
  • If East is allowed to win a trick, declarer will lose three Club tricks.
  • South wins the trump lead and plays the King of Spades.
  • The Jack of Spades is played at trick three; West will cover with the queen and South must play a small Spade from the dummy and allow West to hold the trick.
  • Declarer can now enter dummy with a trump or the Ace of Hearts and then play the Spade Ace discarding the three of hearts.
  • The Ace of hearts is played and declarer plays the Queen for a ruffing finesse.
  • Two Clubs can subsequently be discarded on the Jack and nine of Diamonds.
