Sorry, I don't get it. You took the finesse when it was marked with West by the point count?

Why is ♠Q marked with West??? 2♣ showed 6-10 total points and West has already shown 6 HCP. Notwithstanding total points and HCP, West doesn't need anything else in points to have bid 2♣.

East not ruffing with the 10 would be a mistake if West had ♠QJ which would promote a trump trick. Double dummy, declarer won't misguess spades so that looks like an insufficient simulation that led to a bug in the play.

It is a best hand tournament and East has already shown up with AKQ♣ and K♦

I thought you must have. :rolleyes:

It is a nice theme anyway - thanks for sharing.

Out of interest why did you not bid Michael's?

"Michaels -- 3- ♣; 3- ♦; 5+ ♥; 5+ ♠; 9+ total points; forcing"

I wouldn't know how to handle the range.
