At the table, South made a modest overcall before eventually losing patience and leaping to game. It has been a rather revealing auction, and I'll leave you to ponder the best line of play while I have about 6 hours sleep and then haul myself through a full day in the office. By the time I have returned and written up the article, you will have worked out the optimum line anyway.

If it's of any help, East-West are playing Blue Club, so they are playing third and fifth leads.
