Revised line leads to slam in six hearts on spade lead
In a six heart contract with West leading spades, South must adapt after seeing East hold all three trumps. The key is to cash A K of diamonds and ruff a diamond, discard a club, then play clubs to the ace and lead nine of diamonds. If West covers, discard dummy’s last club and preserve trump entries. This cautious approach yields twelve tricks by ruffing two clubs and a diamond in dummy and using the remaining trump finesse. East’s potential three-diamond start is accounted for, avoiding defeat. If declarer ruffs the fourth diamond, East overruffs and slam fails.
