The 3 is led to the Q from East (3/5). 4, favourable vul, IMP scoring. South opened 1 and no interference from opps.

 

 

This hand was dealt randomly to show beginners why it is always right to draw trumps in suit contracts...

The lead tells us that spades are 3-5/5-3 or 4-4.

Then we can just play [2]Ace, then [3] Spades discarding Diamonds till they take their King.

Then we can just cash the second High trump, finish the diamond discards on Spades and finally ruff our Diamond.

That looks too simple.

If somebody discards at trick 2, we may need to reconsider.

Well we are done if East plays back a Heart after SK.

[2]Heart-Ace is surely a mistake.

The solution seems to be to play [2]Spade immediately to avoid entry problems (need to unblock Diamonds).

Yeah, this was where I was headed as well, although it seems a bit easy...
