South, needing three tricks from the last four, leads a diamond from the dummy and ruffs in hand, West discarding. Depending on who has spadeQ, declarer now has the choice of exiting with a trump to end-play West, or crossing to dummy with clubK and leading a diamond to make his last trump en passant.

Did you remember the deal from a year ago (28/05/2003)? On that date you were declarer, so at one end of the spectrum you've had the opportunity to score +980 or -50 ... and today it's the other way around! Duplicate bridge with yourself.
