This should maybe go in the BIL section, but I think some advanced players would fail to play this one correctly at the table, so might benefit from it.

Scoring: MP

(2NT)-ps-(3♦)-3♠
(4♥)-ps-(ps)-ps


You lead ♠Q and partner plays an encouraging 8 while declarer plays the ♠5

I'd like experts to refrain from posting on this one for a while, but I am no-one to forbid them doing anything.

Are you surprised that nobody has responded yet?
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Correct, but there's more to it than that.

Partner should not be encouraging spades from KJ8xxx(x) and there's plenty of room for pard to hold the ♠AK.

Sometimes the ♦A will drop an undertrick, but it nearly guarantees a set.
