South is on lead in a ♠ contract, in need of 4 out of the last 5 tricks.

 

He can achieve this goal by leading ♥9 and west has to pitch a ♣, then north ruffs, and leads ♣5, if east plays low, south ducks to west, pitching a ♦, and has west endplayed, if east puts up ♣K, south ruffs, and exits with ♦5, either east or west will concede the last 2 tricks.

 

Does this interesting end game have a name, or is it a variant to a known end game?

I hazard a guess here that it is some form of "Winkle Squeeze". Though someone more experienced than me will probably correct me on that :)

Agree. Some variant of winkle squeeze, as described in wiki, in which a trick is offered to the defenders but whichever wins the trick is then endplayed. Often one defender would be forced to offer a finesse or ruff and discard while the other could overtake and thereby promote a trick in that suit for declarer.

Interesting: the 9♥,3♠,10♥ are in the same way as 9♥,A♥,10♥ and the difference is the trump card in S.(Lovera)
