You play an international tournement, but both teams are not heading for the first prices. Your lefty is a pro, your righty his client.

You play 2/1 4♦ asked, 4 ♥ showed a minimum hand for the bidding so far, 4 ♠ asked fort KCs, you showed your two without the queen.

Before the lead, LEFTY asked (behind screens) whether you could rebid 1 NT with a singleton spade. (Yes, you could) Than he asked whether the clubs can be longer then the diamonds (no).
He leads the ten of hearts (standard leads), to the 8, King and ace.

How do you proceed?
If you play 3 rounds in each major, LEFTY shows (4,9,J) of spades and (10,3,5) of hearts. RIGHTY shows (6,7,Q) of spades and (King 2 jack) of hearts.

Do you have anything better then finessing in clubs and finding the queen of diamonds with....?


Thank you Andy...

They both show a queen of spades on the third round? Director!

I'll believe that Jack though. Also West might have bid 1S if he had 5 so it's looking like East is 4-3 in the majors, meaning West is 4-5, so I'll finesse through East if it comes down to it.

Have you got some of the "lefts" and "rights" wrong?

I'm assuming that:
- South is declarer
- West asked the questions
- West led
- West played ♥10-3-5 and ♠4-9-Q (or J)
- East played ♥K-2-J and ♠6-7-J (or Q)

Is that correct?

[Codo]

Yes that is correct. I edited the OP.

I can't see anything better than trying to guess trumps, then falling back on the club finesse. Attempting to throw a club, crossruff, and exit with the last trump doesn't work, because of entry problems.
