A. If the spades are 6-0, this will probably be ruffed and you will be going off, but that is only a 1.5% chance. If the A stands up as we expect, play another spade. If all follow then we are home, but if someone shows out, you must win the next lead and rattle off all your trumps. With a bit of good card reading and a careful eye on the East-West squirming, one or both of the defenders may be squeezed, particularly as we have isolated the spade menace.30 years ago, I watched a gifted card player, who had never read a bridge book in his life, follow the above approach to play a successful squeeze in a lousy grand slam. "He had to chuck something" was his succinct summary. He was the original paint watcher.
