West opens diamonds with a singleton club lead. South wins with the ace and interprets Wests double as holding four spades and the ace of hearts. South then proceeds to play, but the misreading leads to an overtrick for South in a four spade contract.
In a four handed deal South wins a dramatic overtrick sequence. West ducks a heart but later defenses fail as dummy and South execute ruffs and trumps. East is squeezed, discarding the queen of hearts to preserve a club stopper.
The two spades bid in this sequence is a forcing bid showing a maximum hand after partner opens clubs. It typically promises strength and length in the unshown suits, indicating advanced hand evaluation such as a high cards distribution like AQIXXXYXX, with partner’s club opening having improved the responder’s shape.
In dense fog off Spodsbjerg the Fjordshell rammed by Pointe Allegre killed two Norwegian stewardesses and injured several. Fjordshell loaded with crude oil headed south through the Lange land strait and returned to Gothenburg for repairs. Pointe Allegre continued to Aarhus after the collision.
