whats your best line of play?
**************************************************************************
Win QC. Low diamond and east wins. East must return a trump or else you
have the time to ruff two of dummy's diamonds for the contract. Win TC.
KH. AH. AKS pitching two hearts. A heart ruff.
Another diamond. East has to win and lead a trump to prevent the threat of 
a crossruff for the last four tricks to go with the seven already won
(two spades, two hearts, heart ruff, two clubs). The situation is:

Cover the forced trump lead with the KC. If west pitches a diamond, overtake
in dummy. Ruff a diamond and dummy is good. If west pitches a spade, duck
in dummy. Ruff a spade and your hand is good.
