. . . is continue with ace and another trump at trick seven, for that allows declarer to end in dummy after all the trumps have been drawn. Any other defence leads to a trump promotion for you. Try it!

In purely abstract terms you can see that East's contract is an excellent game to be in at IMPs. Unlucky!
