The best line I can find is: ace/king of spades, ace/king of diamonds, diamond ruff high. If diamonds are 3-3, draw the last two trump (overtake the T with the J) and claim: 5 spades, 2 hearts, 4 diamonds, 1 club.
If someone shows out: ace of hearts, heart ruff, diamond ruff high, draw the last trump, ace of clubs, diamond. 5 spades, 2 hearts, heart ruff, 3 diamonds, 1 club.

Very basic but I had to look at it for a while. The diamond position suggests a duck or a loser-on-loser but on this hand it results in the club entry getting knocked out early. I guess my pattern-matching software needs an upgrade.

^^^^^ Yours is the winning line. The full hand was:

Scoring: XIMP


1♦-1♠
3♠-4♥
4N-5♦
5♥-6♠
Pass

You have to go all the way through your analysis (diamonds not 3-3).


At the time I posted this completion of the hand, this poll had 11 votes with a high of 3 and low of 1.5. The average was 2.318, for high intermediate. This is a bit higher than I would have suspected, but I think the community did a good job of evaluating this one.
