Cant I just win spade ace play three rounds of clubs and play the diamond K from hand? How can he prevent me scoring two hearts and a diamond to go with 6 black suit tricks? Once I have a diamond trick in the bag, its easy as pie to come to an extra trick either via the stepping stone squeeze or a simple endplay.

Obv ben is right you have to play a fourth club squeezing them out of a diamond (if they pitch a heart, clear hearts). Once they have been squeezed out of a diamond they are dead. If you play the DK before doing that then they can just clear diamonds and have 2 diamond winners and you are dead.

yeah I'm a noob I overlooked running the clubs. This would be more interesting as a single dummy play problem, it was a hand from the international fund game, frank stewart gave a blase kind of "west should make 3c on careful play" and I thought it was an awfully bold claim.
