After Cashing SA and having a look at dummmy, I embarked on a strange line of play. I led out the DK. Declarer won in dummy and got to hand with a diamond to play on trump. He finessed losing to the HQ, and partner played a club which was cheaply covered and ruffed in dummy. Now declarer embarked on a spade play throwing a club and putting me on lead with my SK. Declarer found the nullo play of a diamond to hand which partner ruffed with the 8 for down one.
One nice line is for declarer to play round three of spade ruffing the winner in hand, what I call the Gitelman play, to secure a hand entry to take the second trump finesse.
Declarer, RHO played poorly, but other Souths played worse trying to cash a second top spade after seeing that dummy. Ugh. That was curtains for that mediocre defense at several tables.
