Could have beaten Sliynk

 

But I did not beat him, due to greed. Sliynk is the IntoBridge alias of Peter Hollands, a Youtuber who creates nice content about Bridge. I met him on IntoBridge only once. On this server, you still have a chance to meet a player twice.

The hand above was bid by all players in "other results". The bidding of 3♠ is an artificial slam try which I still do not understand completely. I am playing 2/1 with Lia. The system is explained in very little detail here. I don't have more information.

Although you have 34 points in the combined hands, you cannot make 6NT because the suit does not break. Once you notice that fact, you should give up. For that to work, you need a plan to deal with it beforehand.

You have only 10 sure tricks. The ♣ could provide another one. But the look like the best bet to get two more. So cash the ♣ lead in the hand, test A, cross to the table and try to finesse . This does not work. Now, you can no longer make your contract if opponents play correctly.

Instead, I should have conceded West the two diamond tricks and go down once. I went down two, just like Sliynk.
