Am i missing something?

3♣-3♥-1♠ = 7. If ♦are 2-2, 13 tricks, if ♦ are 3-1, 12 tricks, Win ClubQ, cask ♦A, if both follow, continue ♦. If someone shows out, you need to play on ♠'s for 4 tricks to go along with the top two ♦. Play will be ♠Queen and let it run if not covered.

You must be missing something Ben, how can diamonds be 2-2 when there are 5 outstanding diamonds? ;)

seems to be either a squeeze or playing for split spade honors... i think i'd play for split honors and lead the ♠Q... the other line involves ducking a ♦ at trick 2 or 3, but i'm not sure how that would work

btw, ben obviously saw 6 diamonds in dummy

Oh, only 5♦'s in dummy. Makes it slightly harder.

play on ♦'s requires 3-2 split plus a squeeze (4D+3C+3H+1S is only 11 tricks). Playing on ♠ give you a better chance. 3-2 ♦ is only 68 -- then you still have to find and execute some squeeze. Going after spades is better precentage. Lead ♠Q and let it run if not covered. If east wins the king, then lead the ♠9 next, running it if not covered.

This is the same line i choose above when diamonds where not available for five tricks, and since they can never be (count, who needs to count), I go with this spade queen play,

Playing on spades should be universal.

tx for the answers.
- Partner tried the diamonds and was -1. Not counting the tricks.. (or miscounted the diamonds as Ben did :( ).
- I would have played on Spades, but would have played spade Ace and a small spade to the Queen. So I learned something by posting this :)
...good play would lead to -1 because RHO has KJ of Spades

Intrafinesse leads to = :P

Now I've checked with Suitplay and it seems it's the perfect line for 3 tricks, but the biggest chance for 4 tricks is running the Q... So you're right, good play would lead to -1 ;)
