In the other room North-South reached 6spade redoubled! West led a club so declarer won and proceeded to cash his minor suit winners ruffing two diamonds in dummy along the way. South's haul comprised of twelve tricks, losing only to West's spade9 at trick thirteen. All that Sandra Fraser's elegant line produced was a 9 IMP swing against her team .... sometimes virtue must be its own reward.
