Wow! Mr Ace played well. It's hard enough as a double-dummy problem. :) I wouldn't succeed, at the table :(. Click Next see the main variant,

[gszeszycki]

trick 6 instead of ducking to the K rise with the ace

trick 7 spade to ace

trick 8 ruff a spade

trick 9 ruff a club

trick 10 ruff a spade

trick 11 diamond and no matter what west does we will score up our 8th trick

 

though I admit the ending reached in the problem certainly is cute:)

I agree it's a cute ending, but the play did start with

- LHO leading dummy's first bid suit rather than a normal trump or his KQxx and RHO then randomly giving you a free trick in the suit

- LHO ruffing his partner's diamond winner (which I admit didn't cost)

Very pretty finish
