West opened the ace of spades and continued the suit, ruming the third spade with one of his low trumps." The defender then took a diamond and two clubs, setting the contract three tricks.

East and West found very pleasant to chalk up 800 points as the result of this hand." It was even more pleasant when they realised that. If they had been left to their own devices they could not even have made à gama.
