It's close, but at Pairs my correspondent didn't fancy defending, so he bid 2heart, doubled on his right after two passes, and this completed the bidding. A small heart was led and the sight of dummy didn't make him think he'd taken a winning view.

How would you plan the play? I'll pass you over to my correspondent now, as he explains in (almost) his own words how the play developed.
