This hand is rather easy but so many players would be careless and ruff the third round of Diamonds. Firstly, this would create an uppercut of West’s Heart Queen and there would be a subsequent club loser later. Secondly dummy’s Jack is now a winner so you can throw a loser on it
So on the third round of Diamonds all declarer has to do is chuck the losing Club and after West has taken a ruff declarer is now fail safe and can claim all the remaining tricks.
