You probably guessed that Chagas went on to game with 4heart. These outstandingly brilliant players often appear to have a habit of forcing themselves to achieve miracles by making unjustifiable overbids. Although any missing diamond honours might have been well placed in East's hand, the same cannot be said for the spade honours.

Nevertheless, 4heart it is, and you have to make it on heart2 lead.
