Since it was Likely North had top controls in the other Side suits As Well South elected to Gamble out the slam on discovering that North held two aces. West leads the Ace of diamonds then shifts to a club. How would you play the hand if you knew West was an unseasoned defender would you do differently if West was an exceptionally Fine player Normal defense would be for West to continue diamonds or shift to a Trump. In that Case Declarer would have to guess which Black suit finesse to take and it would be a pure guess. The climb switch however puts it to Declarer at trick two against an average defender you should spurn the club finesse in favor of the Spade Hook. Why no Ordinary player is going to shift to a club from the King looking at a j 10 in Dummy. Against an expert you done to have such an Assurance.
