~ Crowhurst
# 15-16, denies 3 spades

It was clear very early on that that it was going to a tough match - this was board one, where East-West reached 4spade after a Crowhurst sequence. Had Mr. Crowhurst's legal advisers been present then East could have some awkward questions to answer, but the final contract was spot on.

How would you have played on heartJ lead?
