The opponents have led trumps which is their best lead cutting down on your chances of ruffing out the Club suit. However there are still three trumps in dummy and you will need to get this suit going early.

So after winning the first trick in hand you must play a club to dummy’s 10 and see what gives. East wins with the Queen and plays back a second trump . You now continue with clubs intending to ruff high to avoid any embarrassment of being overtrumped. However the Bridge Gods are with you and when the clubs break 3:3 you can now claim. You will make 4 trumps, 2 Hearts, 2 Diamonds 1 Club, 1 Club ruffed and 2 established clubs
