RHO opens 2D and you wind up declaring 6H on a trump lead (trumps are 2-2). How do you play?
See here for the technical answer.
See below for a different approach.
At the table I allowed the HK and HJ to hold (both following) and called for a diamond. RHO played the 4, so I let the 5 ride.
If he had covered, the technical line was still available.
[This deal was published in Truscott's column, here, though the website apparently omits the diagram -- non-critical spots and the exact black shapes may have been different. UPDATE: Found a hardcopy and updated the non-critical spots and black suits.]

An uncommon variant of strip-squeeze, and a neat little swindle all on one hand...can't ask for much more.
