I figured most people wouldn't overbid as badly as I did, so finessed in a gamble for the contract and resigned myself to down 2 when the finesse failed.

But it turns out East was caught in a weird cross between a Morton's Fork and an Endplay. Play the Ace of Diamonds, and I have enough winners in board to dump all my club losers (with East forced to give me the entry for it on the next trick). Shift to a heart or a low diamond to avoid giving me two diamond tricks, and I instead get to dump my diamond loser away.

I don’t know if down 1 is a victory but it is interesting

Agreed, I haven't seen this sort of position before
