There is very little in this hand except for being observant and knowing about restricted choice.
There are no losers outside the trump suit and your potential Diamond loser can always be dumped on the third round of Spades,
Therefore we need to be focused on the Trump suit only.
So if there is a 4:1 break with either the Jack or Queen coming down we will need to leave ourselves with a finessing position of the lower Hearts.
After winning the first trick go over to the Heart Ace. The Queen falls. Now run the Heart ten which East covers. forcing your King. You must now go back to dummy with a Club to finesse East's remaining Heart Eight.
You will now make 3 Spades, 5 Hearts, 1 Diamond and 4 clubs - all 13 tricks..
