Where is the ♦A
? If partner has it,
you may need to cash out; for this could be the full deal:
One club ruff would set up that suit, and the diamond losers would disappear on dummy's hearts.

in the suit — thereby yielding a tenth trick in this layout:
In your expert partnership, the ♦ can be
shown in another A
way — by playing hearts in suit-preference
fashion while preserving the count — that is, by playing the
middle heart, followed by the nine.
Okay. Having concluded that declarer has the
♦ it is time for some more thinking.
Your A
,laid-back opponents surely won't mind.
