Why lead a low spade? I know 5 maybe wasn't the best of all contracts here, but I still thought it should have made it if it just led a low diamond and then used a club from my hand to drop one of the spades, and then it was sure to make. And if it gives a trick away by leading a low spade, then it's already lost as many as the most it'd lose with what I suggested, so there's no way this would get it any extra overtricks, either. This might be a rare thing as it made at least 1 more trick on every single other table. This is basic GIB btw.

The best way is to cash the top diamonds (discarding a spade from dummy) and cash two top hearts and cash the AS and ruff out a spade. Typical GIB block yourself play- you always gotta to wonder with GIB does it really do DD analysis.
