I'm going to take the risky step of disagreeing with Rainer about a technical card play.

If declarer has x xx K109 KJ10xxxx, a heart is necessary to break up a guard squeeze. On a spade or trump return, declarer cashes his trumps to reach

The last trump forces North to bare his ♦J, after which declarer can finesse against South's ♦Q.


Thanks Andy. Good point (as usual). My last sentence is wrong. I did not consider a guard squeeze. In your layout the ♦9 is not even necessary.

Well sort of, but the ♦9 does play a role - preventing a diamond switch which would also break the squeeze.
