Spades
Against spades (declared by South) West starts with
♥ A-K-Q,
then a heart, ruffed by East. East then cashes his
♣ A-K-Q, then
leads another club, West ruffing with the
♠ 10, which promotes the
♠ J in East's hand, giving the
defense eight tricks.
Hearts
Against hearts, West leads the ♥ A-K-Q then exits
in hearts to North. North can take three spades, but has to give
East an entry, and the defense gets five hearts and three clubs.
Diamonds
Against diamonds, West starts with two top hearts, then a heart ruff by East,
and three top clubs, followed by a club ruff and a fourth heart, ruffed
by East with the ten - essentially the same promotion as when defending the
spade contract.
Clubs
Against clubs, the defense takes three hearts, East pitching diamonds, then
a diamond ruff and three top clubs, ensuring East/West score five trumps
and three hearts.
Notrump
Against notrump, West starts with three top hearts, East pitching diamonds,
West then exits a heart to North, and both North and East have only
black suits. East eventually gets three clubs and a spade, for a total
of six tricks.
