The contract is certainly a good one, and you can tell that the contract is cold on a 2-2 trump break. Agree? Win clubA, draw trumps in two rounds, ruff a club, four rounds of hearts, ruffing, and run a spade to East - who's end-played.

Unfortunately West has three trumps, so back to the drawing board!
