trick, South then. led the six of, QUEEN 1 hearts, hoping to

win a finesse with the ten of hearts and, thus gain two entries, to dummy;

but East took that; trick since. his half-off had been designed just to llimit dummy, to one entry.

East then returned, a heart, and there. South was in the dummy, with the contract depending on bringing, in all, four spade tricks, The contract also depended on leading the right spade. Can you pick, the right card before you read on?
