Lead: J Declarer won the diamond lead with his ace, and continued with three spade rounds (A, K and Q) watching West discards in the second and third rounds and realized that probably East was going to be short in clubs. Federico continued with three rounds of high hearts discarding his diamond loser in the third round and ruffed dummy’s diamond in his hand to continue with a small club to the king winning the trick. Next came a small club to West ace and declarer claimed the rest of the tricks.
