OK West leads Ten what is the correct play and why?

Standard leads so no indication how the honours are split

Very difficult in my humble opinion. With so few extra tricks available, and a guess in s needed, too, I would play low from dummy at trick one which automatically guarantees me one trick in the suit whatever the distribution. If the defenders can clear the s quickly on the first few tricks, it might give you a small indication where the honour cards in the other suits are likely to be.

YOu need miracles here, I play for A109xx/Qx and win the K I now run the spade J, then if that all goes well I have 4 spades, one diamond one heart and 2 clubs, so my next option is to play W for Ax or to give me a second diamond trick. If neither happens and he plays a passive club I'll try hearts 3-3.

Unfortunately my line doesn't quite work, I only have 8 tricks, I need W to have 3 or less hearts.

OK, edited your post to add the contract to see if I can get GIB to crack it

And yes you can do it, but how depends on what W discards on the spades, it's a bit more complicated than I indicated, and you have to give the diamond up to the Q at the right time
