Win the trump lead in dummy, and lead a club. If West wins, he's likely to continue trumps, in which case it's simple to draw trumps, unblock the diamonds and reach dummy with a club ruff for the last two diamonds. If instead he returns a club to force dummy, you can revert to the technical line set out in the previous pages. If East jumps up with a club honour to put a spade through (rather than continuing his partner's trump attack) then hold your cards up!
