Nothing complicated here - you just win East's king and lead a trump, expecting to make ten or eleven tricks. However East wins dummy's spadeQ with the ace and continues with diamondJ. You cover with the queen but West ruffs, so suddenly you are looking at possible defeat. West switches to heartQ and East plays the six. How do you continue?
