Now imagine West leads a diamond, which immediately costs a trick. If East ducks, a small spade is led from North, but if East covers South leads a diamond back to dummy and then leads the small spade. East wins and switches to clubQ. North ducks. I)If East continues with clubs, South ruffs first a diamond and then a club to produce ending A. ii)If East switched to spade10, South wins and takes a ruff in each minor in hand. The two major suit aces are the ninth and tenth tricks.
