At the other table East and West bid up to four spades. This could have been defeated, but North and South decided not to kit. They bid five hearts and were doubled. The loss here was 400 points.
This difference of 100 points wis largely due to the fact that one player knew what was go- ing on and made sure that his opponents couldn't find out.
