The difference between expert play, ordinary play and bad play doesn't show up on every hand. Sometimes all lines of play produce the same result. All declarers win the heart lead with the ace. The bad player cashes his ace of trumps, enters dummy by ruffing a heart or lending a diamond, leads a club to his king and winds up with the loss of three clubs and one trump. The ordinary declarer cashes his ace of trumps at trick two and starts on diamonds.

If East follows to three.diamonds our ordinary player gets to discard a club on the fourth diamond and is home. Unfortunately, East ruffs the third diamond, leads the queen of clubs and the defense gets that same three club tricks. Bad luck indeed, but now watch the expert at work. He ruffs a heart at trick two, leads a trump from dummy and ducks when East plays the jack. West is in with the queen and the contract is safe.

Suppose East plays his king of trumps? If he does that our expert has to pay off the same as the others.
