This is an interesting one, because it simply shows short thinking. The expert did better than I did, but also failed.
The lead at all tables was the ♠6. Now, start thinking!
The bidding of the robots is always a bit hard to understand, and an easy source of wrong interpretation. But to me it seems that West must have an unbalanced hand with some shortness in minor suits. He can also not be strong, because he selected the uninspiring 3NT non-serious attempt to slam instead of showing an own control in the minors which he surely has. Moreover, he probably liked hearing about the spade control. In conclusion, he might have the spades and hearts established after that lead. The problem is that he might discard minor losers, and most likely that would be on the diamond suit. So, you should play a club to cash the one trick. In pairs, this would have been a top.
Nobody did that. The expert returned a diamond too.
