Overtake with the ♥K.
Your side needs to take 5 tricks to defeat this contract. Two of them will be ♥s, but it doesn't look like you can win any ♣s or ♠s. That means you need to win 3 ♦ tricks and the only way that can happen is if you play ♦s from your side. So win the first ♥K (so partner will know you also have the ♥A), and play the ♦10. Presumably South will play an honor, but West will take the trick and put you back on lead with your ♥A. You play the ♦9 and your side will collect 3 ♦ tricks to go with your 2♥s. Deal 12 |
