Lead is a low spade, W plays low regardless of what you play.
I was shown this in a lesson thought it was an interesting one
sorry if too easy
Thanks,

"definitely that's what I like to play when I'm playing standard - I want to be able to bid diamonds because bidding good suits is important in bridge" - Meckstroth's opinion on weak 2 diamond
trick 1 win in hand
trick 2 club toward K
trick 3 club toward A
trick 4 low club ruff
assuming all has gone well so far
trick 5 heart to A
trick 6 club Q ruff (unless rho shows out and fails to ruff)
you have taken the first 6 trick and still have AJ9 of spades
left for 2 sure trick and a possible 3 tricks.
The key is to ruff the low club first since if it gets overruffed
you have preserved your club Q as a trick and can pull trumps
for 4 spades 3 clubs and 1h.
There are some odd distributions that can set 2s but they will be
few and far between.
