West leads a club against 6

, let's see.The only distribution to give us a problem is trumps 4-0 with west otherwise the contract is cold, can we do anything about this unlikely eventuality?

I think it just needs a little care and west to have the right distribution. Okay, win the 1st trick and play a spade to the K and ruff a spade and then play a diamond to the K, as expected east shows out. Now west must hold 4 spades so we play A

ditch a club and ruff a spade, phew, so far so good and cash our other club followed by 3 hearts. They all stood up so we're left with AJ8 and now we exit with the 8 and west's 2 trump tricks have become 1!Well played!
The key was to ruff a spade at trick 2 leaving the K as a second entry to ruff another spade, well spotted.
