Endplay idea saves five clubs contract with heart lead
In a five club auction South, after drawing trumps and cashing diamonds, faces a hostile defense. The key strategy: after the opening spade ace, lead a heart to force East to win and return a second spade. South wins with the king, ruffs a heart in dummy, and exits a spade. West must win and is forced to give declarer the contract, yielding a home game if East cannot cash the third spade. If East does win it, the diamond finesse remains available.
