Once the opposition leads the {2 you know that all suits are likely to bew dividing equally, as West's longest suit is only 4.
Initially you count 9 winners :- 3 Spades, 2 Hearts and 4 Diamonds.
You will need to establish extra tricks in Hearts and Clubs.
At trick Two start on the Hearts and when the Hearts break 4:2 with the Q10 being doubleton it should now be plain sailing as you now have two extra Heart tricks and now its a matter of knocking out the Club Ace and claiming 12 tricks.
You should with care and attention make 3 Spades, 4 Hearts 4 Diamonds and 1 Club
