Sometimes bridge is a matter of divining what the opponents will do. This is a (matchpoint) hand that relies on declarer understanding the opponents’ most likely actions. You are declarer (South) in a 4♠️ contract. Take a look over each of the defenders’ shoulders.


West leads the 2♥️, Dummy plays 4♥️, East plays 8♥️, and you (South) win with the A♥️.
What is your brilliant play at trick two?
[Hint: Think of what it looks like from the defenders’ point of view, e.g. if East wins K♦️ what suit will she lead back?]
