East has an ideal shape for double of 1\H.

With 11HCP, West raises to 3\S, as if partner had opened 1\S.

With maximum 14HCP and excellent holding, East raises to game.

North leads \HA, but it’s difficult to see where to go after that.

Eleven tricks should roll in, there is only one club trick and one Heart trick
to lose.

{

West has an ideal shape for double of 1\H.

East does have 10 HCPs, but the bidding suggests that \HK may not be useful, so
a raise to 2\S is probably the best option.

East has 13 HCPs and heart singleton, but that is not enough to raise to game.

South has a difficult lead. Perhaps a nice passive trump.

The defence should get two club tricks, a heart trick, and quite possibly one
or two tricks in their good side suits.

With a balanced 17 HCPs, West doubles South’s 1NT Opening.

North has a decent five-card diamond suit and takes out into 2\D. All system
bids are off after interference.

East has few points and no five-card suit, so passes.

South passes the rescue bid.
