You have 2 possibilities:
1. trump the missing A with undoubtable emphasis and play the rest of the cards in superhighspeed mode, or
2. keep the opp with the missing A off from lead (using Luis' army sunglasses and rejecting the lead from the other side in the above mentioned manner), after Murphy's law his partner leads the only suit that guarantees the grand.
But before you decide for the appropriate safetyplay (keeping in mind the ASL-rule), flip a loaded 70g silver coin 3-7 times (depends on whether you are born in the year of the ape or not, ask Dr. Ruth!) with putting back and be sure that you hit the TD 3-7 times on the same place of his temple.
Treat both opps between all that flipping to
a.) if male: 3-7 big glasses of fine Rum and a big Havanna (wellknown as Fidel-Coup), and 100 pictures of Nikki Diamond,
b.) if female: expensive narcotic Parisian fragrance, the latest COSMOPOLITAN plus BEAUTIFUL LIVING and pruning shears,
c) if mixed and longtime couple: a small silver pistol with a guide for Russian Roulette together with some rat-poison in a beautiful wooden box (can be used later for jewelleries or bolts and nuts, depends...),
d) if mixed and fresh in love: a first aid packet for lovers and a credit note for a weekend in a nice hotel in Venice plus entry fee for the local 22 boards bridge tourney.
That makes in total 99,999period% (the missing 0,00000.....1% can definitely be neglected, serious studies proved that).
GL!

Safety plays are not usually best in part-scores, worth taking in games, should be taken in slam, and should generally be taken in grands unless the chance of an overtrick is VERY high...

Obviously I would be equally interested, in a grand, to see the chance of an overtrick... B)
