North's next bid was 5heart. This confirmed slam interest and not only pinpointed the potential diamond weakness but also allowed South to become declarer - a very important factor in the end result. South needed no further encouragement and leapt to the excellent slam.

OK, pretend you're South. How do you play on the lead of diamond5?
