I'll give you the bidding and lead with North and South.
Result hidden below - I messed up and went off 2, working it out afterwards.
East passed, I rated my hand as 17 using the Pilowsky calculator. Turns out KR gives it 16.8. So I'm optimistic.
I venture into the ring with a delicate 1.
West astonishes me with 2NT 'unusual etc'. My partner; the bewildering North robot bids 3 - "competitive raise" 4+ yeah right.
East supports West - at least one of the robots is facing in the right direction.
I decide to show partner what I'm made of; 3S "5+;4+; 21-HCP; 19-22 total points" This bid is about 80% true - pretty good.
West puts up the white flag. North goes for broke 4NT. 5: 100% true.
6 by North. And West BANGS down his A: can you make it?


here's the whole hand

You must be careful if west plays another at the second trick.
After ruffing it and drawing all of the trumps you can only get back into the hand by ruffing 2 more . In this case you don´t have any left for the squeeze.
So what you have to do is to draw only 1 round of trumps with the king. Then 3 rounds of and ruffing it on north. Then draw the last trump, ruff a , ruff a diamond, play all of the .

You can only win if west has the K and exactly 1 .
