If you led a diamond at trick one then no doubt you will get an immediate ruff. You will then have to be careful not to get the jitters and cash clubA - either a heart switch or a trump will be good enough.

Of course, if you lead heart10 at trick one you score maximum points - 4spade is stone dead!
