. . . declarer can win in dummy with spade9 and lead heartK to throw a losing club. Although West may win and continue with a second trump, declarer can win in hand, cross to dummy with a diamond ruff and establish the hearts with a ruffing finesse against East's heartJ. On an initial diamond lead declarer can follow similar lines, establishing one heart winner and ruffing three diamonds in dummy.
