If West wins the second spade and “had a diamond to play, the suit would be breaking evenly. You could win, cash the last diamond … come to a ninth trick no matter …”

If the diamonds break evenly, per the text above, does that not already declarer give two spades + four diamonds + three clubs for nine tricks?

Hi Jim2
How do you plan to cash spade in hand? Quite an instructive column

Hi AVRR,

Cutting to the chase, if the ace of hearts is with East, declarer’s king would be the entry

Hi Jim2,

Thanks.

Yes and yes, and with description, fewer words used (critical) in description.
