* Strong

Ruff the spade and cash diamondAK. If the queen comes down you can play clubA, ruff a club, draw two rounds of trumps and play a diamond to the ten. If that is ruffed then you still have another trump to enter hand and cash the minor suit winners. If diamond10 is not ruffed, you come back to hand with a trump and lose only a club if they are 5-2.

What happens if diamondQ doesn't come down in two rounds?
