Partner leads the ♥7, covered by dummy's 9, your 10, and won by declarer's King. A heart is played back to dummy's ace, and a club is played off the board. Here is your first crucial decision: do you win the Ace, or play low? You correctly play low (more on this later), and declarer's King wins the trick. Declarer plays the Queen, King and Ace of diamonds, discarding a club on the third round of diamonds. A heart is played from the dummy now; what do you discard? Declarer will win the trick with the Queen, and proceed to cash the ♥J. What do you discard now?
