This was often the bidding to a theoretically hopeless 3NT. The HQ was led and declarer won and played A and another club won by East with the K as West played the J. At least one defender (who wishes to remain anonymous) woodenly continued hearts and watched declarer make an overtrick. David Hodge took the time to count declarers tricks and switched to a small diamond leading to 3 off. David and Nick Dyer who had not met before formed an effective partnership for this match.
Given that a competent defender will beat 3NT as played, declarer should play small to the C10. That at least makes it a bit harder to find the diamond switch.
The best contract is 4S but only Willie and Ankush managed that. Ankush tells me that was lucky but lets not quibble. Ankush won the heart lead and drew SQ and A (hiding SK) before playing clubs. (He could not afford to play three rounds of trumps having three losing diamonds). Now the defence have to underlead DA to enable a third round ruff, but that was missed.
