Then a heart shift. Win the heart and run all the spades: the opponents dont know the clubs are blocked and will throw away a club in all probability

Ruff two hearts in hand and claim, using a diamond to get back to dummy. Need to think of dummy as the "master hand"

win A diamond, draw trumps and lead clubs up to develop a club trick before hearts are played. Lead a club to the queen and then to the 9 if LHO plays low twice.
