1♣=16+
1♦=0-8
X=suit
1N=17-19
2N=7-8


Find the line that brings the opps to -1...the bridge sites program says the opponents should only make 7 here.

Edit: I think I found it... :)

♦J lead to set up two tricks (don't cash the second one before the end), then ♠ from either hand (3 tricks) when in with a ♣ (1 trick)?

You can click the little GIB button. Leading the ♦J actually lets them make, presumably because it sticks N with guards in two suits so probably something bad happens when the hearts are run.

♦J sets up declarers 9. A small diamond to the 10 then a spade switch beats is, as does any spade at trick 1. The defense get 2 clubs, 2 spades and 2 diamonds.

you can beat this with simple 4♦ and 2♣, no need for any spade.
