This is aHand:

The bidding by now is routine. He asks, we answer, he places the contract. Done.

I think this hand is nifty because it shows that an eight-card fit is an eight-card fit, regardless of the quality. We have the points for game and the shape of our hand is indicative of a Spade game.

If we get an expected split, we're going to lose three Spade tricks. Period. We also have a Club loser, but that can be trumped in dummy.

When we plan the order of play, we need to consider what will happen if we don't pull trumps immediately. The opponents will get another trick when West ruffs a Diamond.

So each time we gain the lead, we lead a Spade until there is only one left. It is often right not to bother drawing the last - master - trump. Here we can play off winning Diamonds, leaving East to take his winning ♠K whenever it gives him the greatest pleasure.

West tries to save the day for the defense by leading a Club for his partner to over-ruff dummy (after all, he can see the high-low too), but East eschews the opportunity, preferring to make us pay two-for-one. It makes not the blindest bit of difference - East-West make three trump tricks and nothing more.
