South (#1) plays in 4\S. 

With five spades South opens 1\S. With four spades and a5 HCPs North knows game
in spades is on. Raises to 4\S.

The defence take two tricks in hearts. It would be reasonable to switch to
clubs on Trick 3.

Declarer and Dummy have nine spades, but the queen is missing. The guidance is
“play for the drop” i.e. take two tricks, rather than take a finesse. This time
the play for the drop does not work because the queen is sitting with two
guards. Declarer leaves the queen out.

The diamond finesse gives declarer two more tricks. There are three in clubs. A
heart trick can be trumped in declarers hand.

Sooner or later the defence take Q\S, their final trick.}

if players haven't learnt overcalls) With 15 HCPs South can change suit to 2\S

re-bid of 3\H shows at least five cards and limits the hand to max 14 HCPs.
With 15 HCPs and three hearts, South raises to game.

Defence may take three tricks in diamonds, A, K, and a ruff.\n
Declarer should then get the lead. Clear Trumps. Take Spade finesse.\n
It works, and declarer should make ten tricks.

West (#2) plays in clubs.

East and South both pass having less than 12 HCPs. West has 15 HCPs, unbalanced
hand, with six clubs and so opens 1\C. With 9 HCPs and four spades, East
changes suit to 1\S. West's re-bid of 3\C shows six clubs and 15-19 HCPs.
East's 9 HCPs and three clubs could be enough for the game contract of 5\C, BUT
only if West is top of their range. East makes invitational bid of 4\C. West is
minimum for his bid and should pass. It would be understandable for West to
overvalue the singleton ace.

There are two Aces missing, and declarer should lose another heart, though not
if the defence are careless with the A\H.}
