The contract is 6, and you get a lead from West of K. Can you make 12 tricks?

This is tricky. You have a loser in s and possibly in s if that suit does not break 3-3. Win with A , and noting that only Q is a master, lead J from dummy and discard the 8 , a loser on loser play. This converts your 9 to a winner to discard your 3. Draw trumps ending on dummy and cash 9.

If a had been lead originally, you would go down, but you received the more likely lead of K, so take advantage of it!
