Bridge play study shows ruff timing and trump strategy

The passage describes a bridge hand where Garland plans to lead side tricks first to force opponents to trump. He cashes top diamonds, ruffs a diamond, then plays ace of clubs and a low club to East's king. East, with only spades and trumps, returns a low trump, aiding declarer. West wins with the ace of trumps, returns another trump, and South secures the ten, with declarer prepared to give up a second last club.
