You are South and manage to reach a small slam in spades.

LHO leads the ♥A and you see

Scoring: IMP

Lead ♥A and ♣ switch. Contract 6♠.


LHO wins the ♥A and switches to a club, which you decide to win :ph34r:

Plan the play.

(As usual, Adv/+ please don't spoil it too early).

I'll take a stab at it.

At trick 3, lead the A ♠ and K ♠. If both opponents follow suit, lead K ♦ then to A♦ ruffing high on a third round. There is roughly a 30% chance an opponent started with a singleton or void in ♦ and 3♠ and can ruff my ♦ leads. Let me know if my math is off here, but it seems to be a 70% chance of success assuming spades broke.

If spades didn't break, it seems I will have to run trumps and play for a drop in diamonds.

At the table, I might lead the J♦ from dummy before spades only because of the high % of players that will automatically cover with the Q.

Well done! I think you have it right (I didn't verify the math, though).
