If you win diamondA, draw three rounds of trumps, cross to clubA and lead spade8 for a finesse you will be badly placed unless South started with two spades including the queen. There will be no more entries to dummy and the defence will continue diamonds - leaving you with no way of avoiding two club losers.

So what's the answer?
