In addition to the few brilliancies and many errors reported here, each player made thousands of sound,
accurate decisions which go unheralded because the right play or bid is unspectacular.

And there was Forquet's incredible auction on Deal 58. He held:
8 6 /
Q J 4 /
A J 10 7 /
J 10 9 4
With both sides vulnerable, Siniscalco opened with one spade. Forquet responded one notrump. Siniscalco rebid two spades.
Forquet rebid two notrump. Opener ran to three spades, and, so help me, Forquet persisted with three notrump, and went for 500.
I know a few players who bid like that, but they are all either occasional club players or dentists, not World Champions.
