Ok I can't come up with one layout where we can make. Before I give up and rate it 5.0 can I just check there is not a misprint, e.g. the contract should be 6♥?

This has to be 6♥, no?

I think only 6♥ and 6nt have any play.

humor?


I think I would win the spade ace, ruff a spade high, cross to dummy in trump, ruff another spade high, again cross to dummy and lead a diamond up. If Rho plays low, put in the 9. If RHO plays high, cross to dummy and lead a diamond to the 9 unless rho is bad.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Han is correct, of course. This is an intra-finesse combined with a the spade elimination. LHO had the ♣Q and ♦K, RHO ♦QTxx

This averaged out as 2.15 which seems right to me.

That's not an intrafinesse. It's merely a deep finesse.
... 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
