3diamond? 4diamond? 2NT? 3NT? You might think that most roads would lead to an excellent 5diamond, some to a very good Moysian 4spade, with a few errant bidders going down the exciting 3NT path. Unfortunately I do not have the actual sequence chosen at the table, but suffice it to say that East -West reached 6NT!

Your stay of execution has been extended momentarily because North leads a diamond. Take it from here.
