. . . in fact declarer can still get home if he reads the situation very accurately. In the illustrated end position, declarer ruffs West's spade continuation in hand, crosses to clubA and ruffs another diamond, cashes two hearts ending in dummy and leads a red card to make clubQ en passant. Straightforward really - anyone ought to get that right ... in their dreams. (If Zia can't get it right, what hope do we have?)
