A very pessimistic 2diamond? A Fourth-Suit-Forcing 2club? 1NT? 2NT? 3diamond? East, Germany's World Champion Pony Nehmert certainly got the job done when she chose this last alternative. Her partner Andrea Rauscheid introduced delayed support for hearts, and after Nehmert went on to the heart game, leapt to the good diamond slam. This pair was the only one to reach the optimum contract.

How would you play 6diamond on clubK lead?
