How do you play 6NT, after ♥Q was led?

The brainless human way:

All you have to do, is to finesse spades, if it's off, the spades are set up.

GIB played it the hard way but amusing :rolleyes:

GIB cashed out all the winners, and eventually threw N in, risking the contract(a human North would bare ♠K early) for a classical strip squeeze.

Clearly GIB N should have tossed hearts or ♠K on the run of diamonds to avoid the endplay. Endplays need to be avoided.
