Declarer wins diamondA and partner drops the four, showing an odd number. After crossing to clubJ and returning to dummy's clubK declarer runs heart10 to your king and you cash diamondQ, partner following.

As with many deals, the result depends on what the defender does when the crossroads is reached. What do you do now?
