Let's say you win in dummy with the king to play ace and another heart, intending to ruff the third in dummy. East wins with the king and leads spade9 back. You win with the ace as West follows, ruff your last heart - as West plays the queen - and have to decide how to proceed. There remain eight cards in dummy - four cards in each minor.
