The bidding was straight forward, S opened 1♣,
and N replied 1 ♦, and then
S rebid 1NT, which N raised to 3NT

There is a trap . If you put the Q up on the first trick you
cannot get back to dummy when you need to,, so win the first trrick with ♥A.
Tackle the ♦ suit, and E
will hold up the ace until the 3rd round, Then lead ♥s
to return to dummy for the established ♦
suit . On any return lead by E you always make 9 tricks
