Cross IMPs.

I can't see anything other than winning the first spade and playing the ♣K, getting 9 tricks if they split 3-2.

Ahha. Seems I didn't learn from your bridge movie, which is the same idea.

While I feel pretty good about this solution, I have felt pretty good about some others too on these forums that I totally butchered. Sometimes I think I should stop attempting these at 2AM :)

You need to play to ♥A for 2 reasons before you play ♣K

1- If ♥K drops, you now have 2 entries to hand so you can play ♣Q without having to cover.
2- If ♥K did not drop, East may have stiff ♣A and you will not waste 2 club honors when you see the Ace. (As Kaitlyn pointed too)

I'm sure by "♥ to the A", you meant "small ♥", so stiff ♥ J opposite ♥ Qx retains a ♥ stopper.



Yes small heart. Not only because you want to control hearts, but also it would be sad if you played J to the A and saw someone had stiff K.
