My partner the robot, transferred into club, auto-splintered and raised my FIVE CLUBS to an ambitions SIX CLUBS. West took DA and now shifted to a spade and I was still in the game.
In the end, I took a mundane heart finesse and went quietly down. But I can make it on the dubious spade continuation double dummy. Do you see how?
I need to transfer the diamond menace to East. For this, he needs to hold the T987 as he, in fact, did!
Win the spade shift, pull two round of trump ending in hand, lead the DQ forcing a cover, ruff in dummy, tricks 6 through 8 finish trump, on the last trump pitching a heart from closed hand preserving the D6, Then tricks 9-10 two more spades ending in hand.
With dummy having H:AJx and east having H:Kx D:T and Declarer having S:K H:Q D:6, the last spade turns the screw on East who must let go the D master or bare the HK.
