It's a bit sticky



West led the 5. East played the J and continued with the A which South ruffed. South cashed the A and K. The fortune was with the South — both opponents followed and only J was at large. 

Now, South should play a heart to the K, East would win and would play a diamond which South would ruff and play the A and K just in case East has a singleton or doubleton Q. South could make an overtrick. If West has the QXX, the best West can do is win a third club and exit a heart to dummy. Now, all South has to do is return to his hand with a spade and take his remaining clubs. It’s a bit of a sticky deal. 

During history lesson, the teacher briefly went through the Kings and Queens who rule countries. “But,” the teacher continued, “There is a higher category of power; can anybody tell me what it is?” 

One child blurted out, “Aces!”
