The bidding:
West was pretty much on the spot when South passed to four clubs. He was more than willing to bid four diamonds but, as far as he could tell, this merely would elicit a five club bid and force him to de- fend at five diamonds. At this lat- ter, he might easily, go, down twe tricks doubled and, thus, a pass to four clubs was not so bad.
As may be seen,- South actually did make five clubs, and West could have been defeated only one trick at five diamonds.
