The auction was weird:

 

2-P-3-p-

4*-P-5-P-

5-all pass

 

*shortness (obviously)

 

Anyway, with the opening lead of a trump, 12 tricks are there for the taking, with no defensive mistakes needed. Cute hand.

 

How:

 

 

Small heart-10-Ace.

Club to Queen.

Heart to 9 (split 3-1, 9 wins).

A-K of clubs, pitching two diamonds. Jack falls to left.

Club 10 pitching third diamond; RHO must follow.

Ruff diamond.

Ruff spade back.

Pull RHO's trump.

Claim all but one.

 

 

13 was tempting:

 

 

Small heart-10-Ace.

Club to Queen.

Spade King, ruffing finesse. If not covered, ditch diamond and resume as above.

If covered, ruff.

A-K of clubs, pitching two diamonds. Jack falls to left.

Club 10 pitching third diamond; RHO must follow. LHO canno ruff.

Ruff diamond.

Finesse heart (if not covered, ruff spade back).

Pull RHO's trump.

Claim all 13.

But, the spade was wrong...
