Bridge Deal of the Week (Nov 10 2006)

Problem:
You are East on this deal, playing matchpoints. LHO opens 1♦, partner and RHO both pass. It is a very close decision whether or not to balance. You eventually choose to pass, and 1♦ becomes the final contract.

After some deliberation, partner leads the ♥Q, you encourage with the eight. Declarer wins the Ace and plays a low spade to the Jack, and your Queen. How should you continue?
