You win heartK and decide to establish a long spade. spadeA, spade ruff is followed by a diamond towards dummy, but West throws a club. East ducks, so you continue with the spade establishment by ruffing another. Another diamond is ducked by East, who has thwarted your plan of drawing trumps immediately. Nevertheless, you ruff a fourth round of spades to establish your winner in dummy. To lead a trump now would allow East to win and attack hearts profitably, so you play a club to the ace to reach the following end game.
