CARE REQUIRED (OR TIME TO CONSIDER PLAN B) by David Stern - Australia

This seemingly innocuous board was reported to me by countryman Bobby Evans:

 
Game All. Dealer South.
                 S 6
                 H K4
                 D KT65
                 C AQJ964       
        S T8753           S J9
        H AQJ             H 986532
        D A874            D Q
        C 3               C K872
                 S AKQ42
                 H T7
                 D J932
                 C T5

West played in the par spot of three hearts on the lead of the SQ. The play proceeded two rounds of spades by South followed by a trump switch -- the best chance for the defense to prevail. Declarer did well winning the HA and continuing with the HQ, denying North an easy exit and leaving this position:


                 S --
                 H --
                 D KT65
                 C AQJ94
        S T87             S --
        H J               H 9865
        D A874            D Q
        C 3               C K872
                 S A42
                 H --
                 D J932
                 C T5


It appears that North's safest action is to play CA and CQ, but if you would like to be able to report the following double squeeze better go for plan B:


                 S --
                 H --
                 D KT
                 C Q
        S --              S --
        H --              H --
        D A8              D Q
        C --              C 2
               
                 S K
                 H --
                 D J
                 C –


With South having to hold on to the SK ahead of dummy's spade discard, North finds himself squeezed between his doubleton diamond  and high club. Plan B requires the switch to the DK which does not give away a trick and breaks up the squeeze.
