Line 3) Play a spade at trick two with the intention of breaking the defensive communications. West wins and gives his partner a ruff. The spade continuation is ruffed in dummy but South has a headache. If he plays two more rounds of trumps then the opposition can cash some spades, but if he finesses in trumps and it loses then another diamond ruff occurs. So is South sunk on line 3)?
