I'm east declaring 4, lead A, pair bridge.

It went down 2, is it possible to play, so that it only goes down 1?

Thought of trump shortage, but I'm lacking transitions.

If you click "GIB" on the diagram you've created here you'll see that best play by both sides leads to down 2 after the A lead.

When I click on GIB, red 1's and 2's and green = signs come up and I can't come close to understanding what it is trying to tell me.

But yeah, losing 1 2 and 2 trumps looks normal.

When you press GIB before the opening lead the thirteen red and green symbols refer to the double dummy results possible for leading each card. A red 2 signifies down 2; a red 1, down 1, and an green = that the contract could be made on that lead with no overtricks. A green number would signify that number of overtricks were possible.
