If East holds something like
86
AH9 or (AKQ)
AKxxx
Hxx or (xxx)
Which is consistent with ♥ 4 udca by West then we can make i guess. Ruff the 2nd ♥ and play ♦ Q and ruff high when covered, then clear the trump. When you cash the 3rd trump East will have to discard a club (can not discard a diamond or a heart) Play a low ♥ which will be won by East. Leave dummy AKx ♣ and Jx ♦. Now east can play either a diamond or a club;
-if he plays a dia, discard a ♥ from hand and win with J. Play last diamond and ruff, West is now squeezed between clubs and heart.
-if he plays a club, win in dummy, cash ♦ J and play another dia to reach to the same position above.
Assume East did not cover ♦Q when we played it. Discard a ♥ from hand, ruff a dia high, clear trumps. If East discards a club play as above. If he tries to discard his ♥ A then you lose only 1 heart due to T8 (remember ♥ 9 dropped from East on the 2nd round play of this suit)

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
