It is cross-IMPs pairs on a Friday night at the Young Chelsea bridge club in London. You are playing with a decent player and encounter the following hands:

Hand 1:

J♠ lead.

Hand 2:

You lead the ♣3 to the Ace, partner following with the 4 (std carding) and declarer the 2. The ♥J is now run to your Queen. Plan the defence.

1. I'd win in hand, play a club to the King and a diamond to my ten, (win the spade return, club to the Ace, another diamond hook).
2. I cash the SA, and lead a diamond. The 4 should be suit preference.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

On the first one, mtvesuvius's line still looks right to me.

On the second one we have to pay a diamond without cashing the spade. It should be possible to work that out - this heart layout isn't unlikely, and I can't think of a layout where cashing the spade gains.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
