Here is a hand that alex played very nicely in the trials.
AKJx A9xxxx Jxx - Qxxxx KQ Axxx xx How will you play 6S on the K of clubs lead? EDIT: Fixed the south hand. -------------------- I knew what to expect. That's why I brought my Scotch.

Very nice
 I don't think I would play this hand on any lead - South has only 11 cards  On the plus side it is probably two less losers to worry about  I must hold back from trying to answer this until I know what the other two cards are; they could be the AQ of clubs  -------------------- Can anyone tell me how to edit my member title? Then I will change this to something more interesting since I know how to edit this. :)

The SOlution
The best line is to pickup any 4-0 trump break provided that the heartss are 3-2. So after ruffing the lead you cash two top hearts, provided these stand up you are home. So you now cash two top spades in dummy, and if trumps are 4-1 you must now play the top heart discarding a club [key play]. This means that a club return will not rob dummy of the necessary entries, as you can ruff high in hand and cross to dummy's last trump, and cash the remaining hearts. -------------------- I knew what to expect. That's why I brought my Scotch.

I have made a bit of an epic fail in this in that i remember the solution, but there is something wrong with the hands, I'm pretty sure that the spade fit shoudl be 4-4. but then you don't have 12 tricks if the spades break 4-1, and if i give the hand another top diamond then you might choose to play on diamonds. Perhaps alex will correct the hands for me
