North-South reached 6heart with North having cue-bid a club control and South doing the same in diamonds. Declarer wins your trump lead on the table with the queen and leads a low spade from the dummy on which East discards a club! After winning with spadeK, declarer crosses to dummy with heartJ, East following, and leads another low spade. Again East pitches a club and you beat declarer's jack with your queen.

Will you find the killing play?
