I noticed a mistake in my earlier submittal. This is the corrected version. WEST EAST S: KJ975 S: AQT86432 H: JT H: AQ D: T98 D: AQ C: AJ8 C: 9 Contract: 6 Spades by East Opening lead: K of Clubs Well, you finally got to a good slam, one that it looks like you might make. Since you would like to keep this partner, how do you play it? What do you think your chances are? ***************************************************************************** What do you think of this format, where appropriate? It saves several lines, often allowing a problem to be complete on one screenful when otherwise it would not be. Comment in your answers or submittals, or by mail, not in separate 2 line articles.

The right thing to do is to overcome the temptation of taking KC by AC. Instead, one should play 8C from West. Now, South has to either under lead from his QC, or lead into your AQ of H or AQ of D, giving you one extra trick you need.
