At the bridge table, sometimes you need to give your opponents their just des(s)erts earlier rather than later. In this deal, how can South make four spades after ruffing West's opening lead of the club ace?

The auction could have gone many ways. And if the vulnerability had been different, surely East-West would have gone on to five clubs, which would probably have failed by one trick. (Note that North would have done best to lead a trump, trying to cut down the other side's ruffs.)
