Contract: 4♠ |

♠ J 10 8 3 |

Solution
- South must let East hold the first trick with the K Hearts.
- No return by East can defeat the contract.
- If South wins the opening lead with his Ace of Hearts, the contract will be defeated as when West wins a trump lead with the Ace, a Heart continuation defeats the contract.
