When that loses you win any return draw the last Trump Cash the Ace of Spades Cross to Dummy with a club Ruff and run the Queen of Spades discarding a Diamond from hand if East does not cover. As Long As East has the King of Spades you will be Able to get two Diamond discards from hand on the Spades. Now lets suppose the opening Lead is a Diamond. You can no longer afford the luxury of two i Nesses if the first finesse loses the defenders will Cash a Diamond to beat you. However there is an alternative line that a almost As Good. Win the Ace of diamonds and Cash the Ace of hearts in an attempt to drop the King. If his majesty does not come tumbling Down Cash the Ace of Spades Cross to the Ace of clubs and run the Queen of Spades. If East has the King of Spades and the suit Breaks no worse than 5-3, you Are still Home. Q.
