 If South wins this trick with the ace, declarer then can easily make his contract. He will have a per- feet squeeze in North's hand when he leads the last diamond. as North will not be able to protect the' fourth club and the spade. Whichever one he releases gives the declarer an extra trick.
 But if South refuses to win this trick with the ace, foreseeing the probable squeeze, the hand can be defeated.
