 My esteemed partner made a Game forcing rebid of 3§  and once I rasid 3§ to 4§   (confirming 4 card support ) he took a chance and jumped directly to 6§

Now he showed his true prowess when he speedily took the first trick followed by entering dummy with the Heart Queen. With West having shown up with the Spade Ace he decided to play East for the Club Ace. He led a low club from dummy and when East played low he played the King . Now it was time to play another club which he did. West played low and he inserted the Ten and was now home, losing just the one trump trick for a nicely bid and played hand.
