Another diamond came back, dum~ my's king won, and another club Anesce was inken and lost. Thus declarer lost two hearts and two clubs.

It is quite easy to make this hand, Win the jack of diamonds with the ace, take three rounds of trumps, cash dummy's king of diamonds and ruff a diamond. Then lead the,jack of hearts. West will win and exit with a heart, and now you have cleared bath the dummy and your own hand of hearts and diamonds. Lead a club from dummy and finesse the ten-spot.
