If East holds both the pointed suit kings then it should be relatively simple to restrict your losers to diamondK and those in trumps. However, after this apparently short suit lead, it's very likely that West will hold at least one of the missing kings.

Bearing in ming that this is match-points, how can you give yourself the best chance of making all the tricks that are due to you?
