Please do not complain about my opinion. I don't have the time to convince you I'm right.

There is only a very small chance I see.
You have to hope West holds 10x of S and makes a mistake.
Actual line:
7 of S to the 9
K D discard H
H ruff
K S to the ace (dropping West's 10)
H ruff
club ruff
last trump
D good.
Well.. I guess I do not need to say what West mistake is
P.S: Another possible chance is ruffing out a singleton club Ace but I will go for my line.

Why nobody choose to ruff-finesse West's ♣A, because he didnot double our slam? Anyway i will try it.

Chances are small, since you have probs with blocking suits. I think you'll need to overtake a ♠ top honour to create an extra entry so you can discard a ♥ on ♦K and ruff 2 ♥s high... Hope ♠10 falls soon enough.

Free's line is an option, it will work when the 10 of spade is doublton with is 40% (the actual chance will be much lower due to other suits needed beheviour)
playing for club ruffing finnese is 50%, and will also might work on some 4-1 spade distibutions, which is better.
You can also get some combinations, but not sure its much better , for example you can combine free's 10 doublton with , A club on the left and 3 trumps on the right, this is done by playing K spade and Q to the A, then if the 10 doesnt fall, you run the diamonds, when east ruffs you overuff and play for the K club for the finnese.
I think there are other combinations but nothing too good.

I guess I was wrong hehehe.
There was a line, even though it is near zero it still counts.

6 Spades by south(IMPS). West leads the Diamond Ace(Thank you)and shifts to the heart 6. Dummy's Queen is covered by the King. How do you play?
