I was horrified to find that +500 was the worst East-West result!

One East-West pair reached 4spade by the route shown, got doubled, and found it was unbeatable - East-West +790.

Another pair found 5club for +600. Considering North's opening bid, this a very good contract.

The North-South pair at the final table got a little over excited and reached 4heart doubled. West knew what to do with that, and he also led a spade. East-West -+800
