Scoring: IMP

You reach 6♠ after opening 1NT with the South hand, no opposition bidding.

The lead is the ♣Q and RHO plays the deuce, UDCA.

I think I would cross to a top spade and play a diamond to the Queen. It looks as though this makes 12 tricks when RHO goes up with the King, and when we can ruff the 3rd round of diamonds, and basically only loses when LHO has Kx of diamonds and the ruff doesn't work (we ruff low and LHO has the ten, or we ruff high and trumps are 4-1). Anyway I would ruff low. If the queen wins we should be able to ruff the 3rd diamond high and the 4th diamond low.

Perhaps it is possible to combine chances by doing something with clubs first, but it seems as though things could get too messy when trumps are 4-1 or clubs aren't 4-3.

Yes 2 options---firstly Q cl lead? x or QJ+ second is k d on side.
unlikely the Qcl lead is from 6??.........so i win ace and play small club back. and ruff,or discard a ht and not ruff-the K d now has to be right.
so i ruff...........and ply ht from dummy win K and ruff another cl with K sp,
the Qcl lead is from 4/5/3 it now depends what has happened to the second/3rd club plays. I rest my case.
