. . . West's only successful defence is to note East's clever suit-preference play in diamonds (diamond3, diamond4) and switch to king and another club at trick three. East wins the ace and continues with the jack so West ruffs with the nine and now there are not enough entries in dummy for South to pick up East's heartJ10x.

Very tough!!
