After an auction starting 1D-2C-2N (just to show there was no
opposition bidding), on the lead of the AD, how do you play
a) 6S (trumps are 4-1 but you don't know it)
b) 4S ( what's the properly careful line?)

My suggestion:
ruff the DA.
a) Start with a top trump. There is not much you can do if trumps are
4-1 unless the SQ drops
or LHO drops the ST. If this does not happen I think you need
trumps 3-2: Cash another top trump before playing on clubs.
Otherwise play on clubs without cashing another top trump. If clubs
break and LHO dropped the ST go to dummy in
hearts and run the SJ. If LHO dropped the SQ you can ruff a club in
dummy with the SJ and finesse the S9 later.
If RHO drops the SQ you need clubs to break or the club queen
singleton.
b) Do not touch trumps. Play a club to the ace. If the ace stands up
you can cash one top trump before continuing clubs.
If RHO ruffs the club, ruff the diamond and play a heart to dummy to
play a club from there.
Opponents will get at most 3 trumps.
This line is necessary if RHO has 4 trumps and is void in clubs.In
this case you need to ruff two clubs in dummy. If you cash one round
of trumps RHO can beat you by ruffing the club ace, forcing you in
diamonds, and then refusing to ruff in or to overruff dummy.
