Ace of hearts to set the contract. Furthermore it takes into account the bidding of the other three players and placing the proper evaluation on each one of their hands. For exam- ple, let's consider North's bidding. His double of the opening heart bid showed a fine hand. Next, his bid of clubs at the range of four showed a good long suit.

From North's bidding. South should have inferred that he held an excep-' tionally long club suit and only three spades. And, since it is usually un- sound to play a game contract with only seven trumps, South (especially after the double) should have bid five clubs, which would have laydown. As it was
