So, overtake the king of diamonds with the ace and lead a club. If East ruffs it beats the air, while if he discards we win and play another. Say West wins and plays another heart which we ruff in hand. We ruff a club in dummy and hope that it costs East his natural trump trick ...
Of course, to take advantage of all the divine intervention stuff, you did ruff with dummy's spade5, didn't you?
