>Which card do you lead?

RJH:

Ace of diamonds.

>Which other card do you consider leading?

RJH:

Ace of diamonds.  Two ways to win:

(a) partner may have a singleton or void in
diamonds, so a diamond ruff beats the slam, or

(b) if we do not take our ace of diamonds now,
we go to bed with it, as declarer discards all
losing diamond(s) on the heart suit, but after
the ace of diamonds lead declarer must later
take a losing finesse to our king of spades.
