Let's say you unblock diamondA and lead a small spade off the dummy. East climbs with the ace and continues diamonds .. thank you, Mr. East. You win, ditching a club from dummy and lead a club to dummy's king, which holds. At the rate things are going, you may have even underbid this one (yes I am joking), but nine tricks are still the objective. You ruff a spade in hand and lead your fourth diamond, so when West plays diamondQ you throw dummy's last club. A belated heart now comes round to the jack and your king. Five cards left, three tricks more are needed . how will you get them?
