Re-reading some of my library the last few months.

Here's one I saw last night:

Scoring: IMP


You get a surprise low diamond lead in 6♥. Plan the play.

No bidding by the opponents.

I'd start with ♣A, ♥A, and another club, but not sure if this is going the right way. I have though this one for a while and I cannot protect everything.

I agree with Fluffy's line.

Fluffy's line....
( Did West show out of trump at trick 3 ? )

It's cold if Cl no worse than 4-2.
Ruff small Cl w/Q .
You have the transportation to draw trumps.

Tricks = 1s, 4h, 2d, 4c, 1 Cl ruff.

( Sp honors must have been split for no Sp lead ).

Pretty simple line: ♥Q; ♦ruff with T; ♥K; take away their trumps; duck ♣.

This was the line suggested. This is from Kantar's "Test Your Declarer Play", most of the hands are sub-basic, but this one was good I thought. Ruffing a diamond in hand and ducking a club seems counter intuitive because you are shortening the trump in the hand that needs the late entry.
