Today's deal is one of those that involved some "let's see what happens" play - I defy anyone to forsee the winning line at trick two. Playing strong No Trump East opened 1diamond and South overcalled 1heart. West introduced spades and North raised pre-emptively to 3heart. You may not be particularly enamoured with South's 4heart, but see what you think of her play. West led diamond6 so East won with diamondA and switched hurriedly to a trump.

How do you think she played?
