In the other room there was carnage. South opened 1diamond and West bid 4heart. Encouraged by the diamond fit, North bid 4spade and East quietly doubled. North was to regret his decision to stand his ground. West overtook heartJ and continued with heart10 - suit preference for clubs. After over-ruffing dummy East dutifully led a club and West won to continue with heartA - suit preference for diamonds. Another ruff and over-ruff was followed by a diamond. On the trump from dummy East hopped up with spadeA, gave West a diamond ruff and received a trump promotion when West led a fourth heart. East-West +1100 ... the equivalent of 7-3 at football.
Note 04/06/2024: It was on 15/05/2022 that Real Madreid beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 at Hampden Park.
