The objective is to keep from losing four tricks. Since a spade, a trump and a club loser are unavoidable, how does South time the play to avoid a second club loser? If South wins his diamond king and cashes one high trump and his top clubs, he's off to a bad start.

When he leads a third club. West discards, and East wins. East then leads a fourth club to promote West's trump jack to a winner, and South loses a spade, a trump, a club and a club ruff. If South cashes both high trumps before playing clubs, he will succeed when clubs split 3-3. However, since they are 4-2, when East wins the third club, he cashes his high trump.

South then loses two clubs, and he suffers the same one down. Finding the solution requires a departure from the routine approach. To succeed. South should cash not more than one high trump and play a low club instead of one of his top honors. Whichever defender wins has no effective response.

South wins the next trick and cashes his remaining high trump, happy to find trumps 3-2. Now it's safe for him to cash his two top clubs and ruff his fourth club with dummy's last trump. What if a defender ruffs one of South's top clubs? It would not matter. He would be ruffing with a natural trump trick, while a trump remains in dummy to ruff South's last club.
