The bidding:
Sure enough, South did bid seven clubs, which was set three tricks for a loss of 500 points. Of coursé East and West could make five hearts, and on ñormal bidding we assume North and South would have defended at six clubs. East had merely picked up an extra 200 points by getting his opponents to
seven.
