  South plays 4♠. West leads the 10, you cover and East plays the three high s.

Losers: ♠ 0 : 1 : 2 : ♣ 1 : Total = 4

To start with, you ruff the third . You cannot avoid the ♣ loser, so you might think that s must break evenly to give you a fourth trick. In fact, there is a chance that you might ruff the fourth .

Play exactly two rounds of trumps with the ♠A and ♠K. Then play K, A and Q. If both defenders follow to three leads your fourth is good so you pull the last trump. If somebody shows out on the third lead and does not ruff then play your last and ruff in dummy. Return to your hand with the ♣A and pull trumps.

  You will always make the contract when s split 3-3.

By pulling exactly 2 rounds of trumps first you can also succeed in the case where s split 4-2 and the defender with the doubleton also has a doubleton trump.
