South made the exactly the right move when he unblocked diamondK at trick one and went up with clubA at trick two. He drew two rounds of trumps, played heartAK and ruffed a heart, crossed back to dummy for another heart ruff. diamondJ remained as the entry and declarer's clubQ was discarded on the established heart winner. Twelve tricks.

Clue 4: He was President of the local club.
