[Trumpace]

Scoring: IMP

Bidding goes: 1S - P - 2S - P - 3S - P - 4S - P - P - X - P - P - P

West who was an intermediate player, seemed to double a game contract whenever he had some high cards.

Contract is 4S by South after bidding shown.
West leads the ♦K (likely a singleton, from previous experience).

Now what?

Duck the diamond king, win any return, cash AK of trumps, play on diamonds and claim 4 (or 2 down if trumps don't break).

how do you win a heart return? i'd win the ♦A and play a heart up.. when east wins and west trumps the diamond, i'd win the exit and draw 2 rounds of trumps.. then ruff a ♥ and toss a club on a ♦.. if trumps did split, the diamonds are good... if they didn't, i have to hook a club

i probably missed something simple in there somewhere

Ruffing 2nd round in dummy, what else?
