South plays 2.

I noticed some interesting double-dummy problems pertaining to this hand.

 

1. Make 2 on the lead of a diamond against any further defense.

2. Explain why the lead of the 9 defeats the contract but not the J.

3. Explain why switching the 6 and the 7 lets the J defeat the contract.

 

Bonus:

-Against 1, played by south, in addition to the 'obvious' lead of the AQ of hearts, tapping south, the only lead to set the contract is the J, instead of the 9.

-Against 1 in the south, both club leads defeat it by one trick, in addition to the A.

-The only way to defeat 1NT played by south is to squeeze declarer.

-The only way to defeat 1NT played by east is to squeeze declarer.
