North rebid 2NT to show the essentially balanced nature of the hand, but when South leapt to 6NT he was never able to show the vital diamond support. As you can see, 6NT has little chance, although five rounds of diamonds make life uncomfortable for West.

A swing of 1470 is a large one in the context of a match scored by aggregate. Too large!
