What is your thinking?
If the trumps are 2-2 you have 12 top tricks and hope to establish 1 club winner for the 13th If trumps break 3-1 you will need 5 club tricks so a finesse of the C10 may provide 5 winners. Win the Trump lead cash the SA and play a second trump. You see trumps break 3-1 so you need 5 winners in clubs. Ruff a spade and now comes the key play- cash the DA Then run trumps. On this hand you will see by clicking next that East is squeezed and cannot hold on to his 5 clubs and the SK . He lets the SK go hoping partner has the J and now declarer’s SJ and 8 are good. Grandslam made. If west held 5 clubs along with the DKQ the squeeze would also work. The key play was cashing the DA to force the later discard from East- how did you do ?
