The ace won and a diamond was led to the queen. when West showed out, discarding a club. it was clear to South that only two diamond tricks could be counted on. East took his diamond ace and shiited to the heart seven. Declarer'n nine was covered by the ten. forcing the king, and declarer then cashed the spade king and tinessed for the spade queen.

Even if the heart suit produced three tricks, South would still need the spade finesse. so he should have cashed all his clubs. his two diamond tricks and two top hearts. East would have to hold A high diamond over dummy, hence could keep no more than three spades. Thus, having cashed the spade king, a spade finesse at the tenth trick. instead of earlier. would let South run the rest of the suit, for fulfillment of the slam. i 1 LOVE YUJ CAME GJTN THAT YEAR, SHARP WE'LL W ITIWITH TEN VIOLINS AM?
