East admitted later that he had been tempted to overcall the open- ing heart bid with one made on his own account. He was very happy that he had not done so when South made his (rather du- bious) spade response and West doubled. North also said that, over the double, he had considered a rescue in diamonds, but had r0- alzralned himself * , among other reasons, he could not know that East was going to leave in the double.

South's position was, to put it very mildly, precarious, but West's opening lead straightened out mat- ters very nicely (or South! Wut opened the heart queen! mommy's ace won, and South discarded a diamond on the heart king. He then mired a heart, finned to the diamond queen, mﬂed dum- my's last heart, went beck to the

end-all this, while the dedenders were lmpotently Iollowing sultl So, South had seven tricks home for the fulfillment of his contract be- fore he gave u) the lead!

Now observe what would have happened ii’ West had laid down

the ace and ten oi trumps! East would overtake the ten and dra/w every one ot South's trumps, then lead a elub. Prom that point on, merely by playing with reasonable skill, tlhe defenders would ﬂnd it very easy to hold the enemy to two heart tricks and one diamond, and would thus collect an 1100- point penalty!
