Phillip Alder discusses a reader problem in which South opens spades, West doubles, and four spades is reached. After West leads the diamond king, the plan involves finessing and counting. The author notes the correct approach is to finesse East into West and explains why the alternative ducking the first trick fails, with the key line about achieving ten tricks through spades five, clubs, diamonds, and a diamond ruff.
