Perfect safety play in a trumps hand with spade finesse
In AKCB a responder with a 10 card fit should claim the trump queen even without it. South can endure one spade loss but not two. A perfect play has South lead a low spade from the dummy, East discards, and declarer finesses the dummy’s nine later. If East follows low, South can win with the king and finesse the jack, staying safe.
