Mr. Winqvist won the lead, played ace of hearts, ruffed a heart and drew the last trump. On the spade6 lead West flashed in with the ace and led a low club. The finesse just had to be right, and the queen duly held. The spadeJ (!) was covered by the queen, so declarer ruffed and ran the trumps to do something beastly to poor West. 6diamond made for +1370 to Finland.

It's a safe bet that Mr. Winqvist won't have a copy of Rixi's book in his collection - but probably some like "Day trading in Derivatives" or "Blindfold Extreme Sports ".
