Hi, I didn't pla it that way. I ruffed a ♦ in the short hand??

Then you didnt make the maximum number of tricks. Could have avoided a diamond loser all together by setting up the clubs.

The bidding is missing, but the robot bids the same after opening 1NT

Maybe play to CQ before SK in case West ducks with CA (and Cs don't break)?

Yes i would like to hear Gavin's response to this question. I also wondered what if the opponents don't the ♣A when you lead the ♣Q

Yes good point. If they duck the club you can just claim making 5 by ruffing a diamond on the board.
