There is something quite unusual about this hand.

Can you work out what it is?

the only thing I can think of is balanced distribution all round, or that it resembles my opps hands on to frequent an occasion

or you can make every 6 level slam, not quite sure how to play the club slam, but I expect someone here can make it

can make any slam double dummy.

in 6C on a plain suit lead cash 6 red cards, 3 spades and lead the 4th spade if the ruff low you can claim, so say they ruff with the 10. you overruff, lead your last red suit card (heart or diamond depending on your discard). you ruff with the king then lead a club from dummy and hook the 8.

on Ace and a club you can just cash winners and then have a high cross ruff.

on a low club lead to the ten and jack you cash 6 red winners, play 4 spades and can claim

That's right. All small slams also make if played by North. 6 by North makes on a similar play, but the handling of trump suit leads is slightly different.

Here's another one:


Whatever the denomination, NS can make exactly 10 tricks double dummy.
