You reach 3NT and West starts out with the 5 of Clubs to East's Queen. East returns the 10, West overtakes and leads a 3rd round, East follows and you win with the Ace. How do you plan to attack the Diamonds?
West has to be kept off lead with their 2 good Clubs. If you lead the AD and then finesse to the board, you can't stop West if they have Q x x x.
Back
Nope, West could have the or Qx, Qxx etc . They win and cash their good Clubs.
Back
Correct. West is the danger hand so you must immediately take two finesses through them to guard against them having Q x x x. You finesse the 9 and 10 then play the K and A.
Back
Nope, West could have the Queen alone or with little ones. They win and cash their good Clubs.
