The only winning line is for declarer to play for the exact layout. He wins heartA, cashes heartK, overtakes spadeQ with the king, ruffs a heart to bring down the queen, cashes spadeA and cuts loose with a diamond. Now North is stuffed. Stripped of his exit cards he has to lead a black suit, allowing East to draw trumps and cash out. Should declarer have found this line? Maybe in my dreams!
