Interesting Play Hands / Re: Catering for good defence

There is no risk in my line of play.  But,  there is a potential reward.  Once 2 clubs are established the contract is in the bag.  Three H's, 4 D's, and the two clubs.  If (a big if) the diamonds split 4/4, there is a chance of isolating the A C's.   Again,  if the diamonds are not 4/4, one must run the 9 tricks and concede.

Having looked at only the N-S hands, I think I would have tried this approach.

I would have played it very similar to Samet.  I would cashing 2 top club first (giving the defense an opportunity to make a mistake and playing for a doubleton club (Ax).  This approach could create an overtrick if defense gets greedy and does not play the spade.  However,  once the second club is ducked,  I would have played my remaining 3 diamonds,  if diamonds split (not likely), I would now play the spade hoping that the Q spades is not with the A clubs.  If diamonds do not split, I would go to the hearts and be content with making 3NT.  Greed is not good.
