You must beat the C, and both your Spades do. Which one do you play?
Answer
The Q. After this trick the only Spades left below yours are the J and the 10, so your King and your Queen are equally dangerous later; what differs is the price now. If the Q takes the trick it puts 4 Card Points in your pile, the K 5.
