North/South can make six hearts or six notrump, in both cases losing a single heart, but the only
grand slam which makes is
7 ♦.
Declarer wins any lead in hand, takes two top spades, a spade ruff, then runs
the clubs and diamonds ending in hand. East then gets squeezed, holding both the
♠ Q and the long heart.
