West leads the ten of clubs, and declarer wins with the king and leads a small heart. Partner wins with the king and leads the five of clubs. Declarer wins that with the queen and leads the two of spades. You win with the queen and lead the jack of spades which holds, partner playing the five of spades then the six, normal count. What next?

What is partner leading the ♣10 from? More likely a doubleton than from three, so I might place South with ♣K-Q-x, thus not going to clubs. What is partner rising with the ♥K on the first round of hearts with? Could be a doubleton, so I'm not going to the heart suit as South could have had ♥A-10-x-x-x. I'm not exactly sure what's up in the spade suit but it looks like South might have had ♠K-x-x-x and is trying to endplay one of us. So I will return a diamond, and more specifically the ♦J, in case South has the ♦10 singleton.
