* a 'Fert' - rubbsih
~ showing clubs

North-South gained the big swing they deserved when they reached a wonderful 6diamond - far and away the best slam. 1spade was a "Fert": - essentially rubbish. 1NT showed clubs and the rest of the sequence was essentially natural. A single spade ruff in the dummy gave declarer twelve easy tricks.
