As this is a competition where your involvement is not likely to last beyond this round, you are playing an aggressive game against your international opponents in an attempt to get your money's worth. You're playing a system which includes a prepared diamond, so you duly prepare yourself as indicated. LHO bids a "Michaels" 2diamond to indicate the majors, partner pre-empts with 4diamond, and RHO completes the auction with 4heart. What do you lead?
