As South has not opened 1NT then she will either have the missing fifteen points, or have an unbalanced shape, or both. She is not likely to be 3-3-5-2 or similar - most players will open 1NT with that pseudo balanced shape. On the not unreasonable assumption that South has all three missing aces you can see that you are going to have to do everything right first time, because after forcing out your KQ South will be able to make at least two long diamond tricks to go with her three aces. Your plan will be to make four clubs, two diamonds, and either two hearts and a spade or three straight heart tricks. Back to you.
