Do you think the declarer play on board 1 (by the robots) is reasonable to find, is there anyway the DQ could be relating to carding and not a singleton (i.e. showing QJ9, after seeing the 10)? Should S be worried about being thrown in and discard differently (dropping the 9 on the third round if the 2 is dropped), or trying to discard showing shorter or 3 spades? Doesn't the route just fail unless S has longer spades and the singleton diamond (or if N has the CA)? If you have an indication that S has longer spades (maybe a double over 1H), would you play the hand this way?

I think this was the only thing the robot could play for really. If south has QJ9 there is nothing really to the hand. declarer will always lose 2 diamonds a club and a spade. The only flaw I see is that the robot pitched a diamond from the table. If south had ♦QJ doubleton, keeping the Tx in dummy will prevent north from being able to overtake the diamond. I dont think there is another line of play
