After winning trick two with the ace of spades, go to
dummy in hearts and lead a club toward your hand.
If the queen does not appear from East, win the trick

hand the queen appears, and now you duck the trick.
If the queen does not appear from East, win a second
club trick and play a third club, hoping East started
with three of them.
