Having ruffed the opening lead, you cash clubA to get the bad news. Undaunted, you cash heartAKQ and ruff a heart, ruff a spade, and follow with three rounds of trumps to give West his clubJ. At this time there are no trumps left and if West has a third spade there will be carnage. On the other hand, if started with spadeAx then dummy will be good and you can write down + 1540.
