Suppose, however, that East's queen of spades really was a singleton. West is now left with the established ten of spades, but South is still in food shape.
Declarer continues by cashing the top diamonds and ruling a club. Then he lends a trump and allows West to take his trump trick,
What can West then do? If he happens to have a nigh diamond, he can take it, but this merely postpones the key play. He must then lead hearts, allowing South to win a trick with the king (since a club tead wi surely allow duminy, to ruff while South discards a heart). In any case South will lose one, trump," one diamond, and one heart.
In short, South should not try to guess the tramp situation. He should prepare for an end-play since that wil asure the contract if West eventually wins a trump trick.
