 He then should lead clubs until West is forced to ruff with his jack, and West is helpless. If he returns heart, the declarer will ruff with the eight of spades and will have a diamond to get into dummy and make all the good clubs-he never needs his ace of diamonds.
 If the. decIarer were to lead q diamond at trick two, West would not ruff with his jack of spades until South was exhausted of clubs and now the declarer would have no way of getting into dummy to, make all the good clubs. Thus his contract would be defeated.
