Ace of diamonds.

That is one of the many likely leads that doesn't restrict to 9 tricks

Only lead that worked was a small diamond to West's (lonely) Queen taking account of the singleton and the one weakness

If I miss a defence that can only realistically be found by either double dummy defence or somehow working out a very specific layout and extreme lead is the only way to get it down, I don't care. I'd rather focus my attention on my many more defensive cock-ups.

what I would do is download Double Dummy Solver and I think you can somewhere get the full
JEC database from Bob. Then take a look at what alot of good players do with their weak twos.
there are alot of styles out there.
