Contract was 6NT by South, and declarer made, it, at first I thought we discarded bad, but on second look I see declarer can always succceed.
My post is mainly to answer whats the best line and can it be made against best defence.

Lead is small diamond and you capture East 9 with Ace. What next?

♠x towards jack

If this doesn't immediately give me 12 then there are various squeeze chances

I would lead a ♠ towards the J. I can't cash the ♠ A first because this would screw up squeeze possibilities if RHO returns a ♠ when in with the Q. I assume this loses so I cash a ♠ and the top ♥s and run the ♣s.
