Forrester got a trump lead and spent quite a while deciding on his line. It was time well spent. He won in hand, ruffed a spade high and ran the queen of hearts to West, who returned a second trump. Forrester won in hand again and ruffed another spade high. Now he led a heart to the ten, drew the last trump and played ace of spades and a spade. He was the only declarer to make game, Five Diamonds minus one being the most popular result. |
