You are In 6♣, IMP's.
You have no losers outside ♣ and this is you trump suit.
You can loose one trick in ♣
You have enough entries:
AQxx
*
xxxxx
How do you play this?

Play the A ♣ and see if you can drop a singleton K,
If the K does not drop go to the opposite hand and lead towards the Q.
This play works if there is a singleton K in either hand, if the clubs are 2-2, or if the ♣ are 3-1, with 3 trumps before the AQ. If the trumps are 4-0 then there is no play that works and if the trumps are 3-1 with the K offside then also there is no play that works. I assume from the layout that you are also missing the J10 and 9 of trumps.
Good luck,
Theo

right.
I happened to learn that this was not known to most beginners...so it was a reminder
(my partner played as said, but ♣KJx was badly placed)

I got it right, but my first thought was low to Q. As long as I'm playing slowly enough I would expect to get this right at the table.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.
