South ruffed club10 in hand - what could West throw? A diamond allows declarer to ruff out the diamonds and a heart discards means that South can establish a long heart with a ruff.

There was one defence that might have been successful:- if West unblocks clubJ when clubA is cashed. Can declarer get home ... perhaps you can tell me!
