. . . no, not really, but that's what West deserved - so in the best interests of good bridge I fibbed a little! North held diamondA and West's mistake went unpunished. Five clubs, two spades, two hearts and a spade ruff were all that was required - the idea of ruffing two spades was merely an illusion.
