South should win the first titel in dummy with the ace of clubs, take the ure of spades and give up a spade. He ruffs the club return, gives up an- other spade. and ruffs another club return. Now he draws two rounds of trumps with the ace and king and finesses the jack of diamonds. Even if the finesse loses, dummy still has a trump de stop the clubs.
