Analysis
- ▲You did well: you bid and made game; 5 of 11 others stopped short.
- ▼6♠ by East makes double dummy; you stopped in 4♠. Nobody else bid it either.
- ▲Their 7♥ lead gave you a trick; a club holds you to 12.
- ▼You took 11; after the lead there were 13.
- ▼Your +650 is 750 below par (+1400).
