i think it also works on the D lead. Hold up the club ace for a round and return a spade. I think dummy gets squeezed on the club run after this. You can still win by playing ♥A,K,Q first then ♠ to the K and run clubs. East is squeezed and will discard a ♠ so you can discard a ♦ from dummy

I play and make it: I win the first trick and play ♣K then ♣ to the Q. West take when he wants and then can return: 1. ♥ then I take in hand and play all my ♣, discarding one ♦, one ♥ and one ♠ from dummy. West can easily discard a ♦. East has to keep 4 ♥ hence he should discard 2 ♠, hoping for K or J in West. Then I play ♥ for K and Q and cash ♦K and now East has some trouble as he can't discard his ♦9. So he discards two ♠. I can know make the 3 last ♠ in my hand. 2. if he returns ♦, I play ♥ for the A and do the same as above. 3. it is more complicated on a ♠ return as I will not be able to discard an other one from dummy on the ♣. Then I start with A, K and Q of ♥. East can discard one ♠ and one ♦. I play ♠ to the K then all my ♣. Weast can't discard another ♦ so he discards ♠J. Hence I can discard one ♥ and two ♦ from dummy. Now East has some trouble as he should keep one ♥, so he discards one ♥ and Q and 10 of ♠ and I make my last ♠ then ♦ for the K. On a ♠ lead I can't make it if Weast duck the first ♣ and then returns another ♠ because I will have to make my ♣ before ♥AKQ. Aurelien
