Declarer should win the first trick in his own
hand, preserving dummy's ♦ A
as an entry to the North hand. After drawing trumps declarer should test the
clubs by cashing ♣ A K to see how the suit
splits. He can then enter dummy with a diamond to the ace and take the marked
club finesse against East. Of course, if North has at least four clubs to
the jack you are out of luck
