The suit with the least number of cards in Declarer and Dummy's hands combined is the ♣ suit. ♣ A K 8 5 opposite Q ♣
Five (5) cards in total.
According to Blackwood's theory, you should therefore play for the drop of the Q♦ in this Deal.
Therefore play the K♦ first*, then the A♦ the next trick, in the hope that Opponents' Q♦ will fall under the second trick.
Is that the case here ??
*
Playing the K♦ first keeps the finesse holding (♦ A J 9) in West's hand in tact, useful if North does not follow suit in the first trick (showing a void in ♦s).
