Hi

I appreciate this hand was badly played by yours truly. It should have made 4+1 but I noticed in the traveller how many had made 4+2 after leading the 10 of spades which was covered versus leading the 9 to finesse

If you lead 9 West plays low and if you play 10 it is covered. I don't know if that is common playing technique but useful to remember in future

The ♠3 would have been a unusual lead from a doubleton. Either the lead is a stiff (where I guess that east would play ♠J from ♠QJx so your always going to lose a ♠ trick, or the ♠Q is stiff and the lead is from ♠Jxx

Most players consider the 'ten' as a minor honor card so that is why the Robot covers, I guess. And does not when the ♠9 is led.
