Since Norih had the King of Spades As Well As a Side suit Ace six Spades was a standout. West led the Jack of diamonds taken in the closed hand. It looked As if the Only loser was the Ace of Trumps so without a moments thought Declarer led a Low Spade to the King. As a result West could not be stopped from scoring two Trump tricks Down one. A Pessimist would have Given the hand More thought the Only distribution that would put the slam in jeopardy was a 4-0 Trump break and that can be overcome no matter which defender held the Trump length. To the second trick Declarer should have led the Queen of Trumps. As the cards lie East shows out on the first Trump so whether West has won the Ace or not the nine of Spades is led next for a marked finesse against West a ten. Similarly if East turns up with All the Trumps Declarer can get to Dummy with the Ace of hearts to Lead a Low Trump and finesse the eight again neutralizing the ten. Q.
