If they take clubA immediately you will be in control, but if the ace is ducked then you must continue with another club while you can take the diamond force in dummy. After ruffing and drawing trumps then you still have one trump left allowing you to force out clubA. Here you will make eleven tricks!

So, which line is best .. or can you find something even better?
