Declarer claims all of the tricks in a n-card ending, believing all the cards to be winners. One of the cards is not a winner. Clearly he loses one trick, but is he required to play his cards in the least favourable order or is there a "normal" line of play. Or should I post a specific example?

No. No. Yes. B-)

A matter of definition as described in the Bride Laws. Article 68 D: After any claim or concession, play is suspended.

There is no play following a claim, no normal play, no stupid play, no expert play, simply no play at all. The non-claiming or non-conceding side can (but is not mandated to) ask for play to resume and that ONLY happens when all FOUR players concur in which case play continues without any restrictions and the claim is voided, there is no claim anymore.

In all other cases a disputed claim is up to the director, not up to any of the players, to work out a score. The director will follow Article 70.
