Think Play Out -- Then Give Answer
By OSWALD JACOBY
[/HAT do you think of
What's double of four
hearts in today's hand? Put yourself in East's place, and imagine that you are playing in a national tournament. South is a pretty good player, neither the best nor the worst in the country. Should you double four hearts or should you pass?
V.

There's no question in my mind: you should pass. hand obviously belongs the opponents since they have bid strongly and your side has never entered the auction. If four hearts is a bad contract, East-West will have an automatic good score; for then few other North-South pairs will reach the bad-contract.
If four hearts. is a good contract, it is pointless to double it. And if four hearts is one of those in- between contracts, the double may steer South into the winning line play.

WES no double to guide him. declarer Invariably finessed the club at the first trick. East won the first trick with the king of clubs and returned the suit for West to 'ruff.
That, of course, was the end for poor South. He last the first two tricks, and was sure to lose the ace of spades and, at least one trump later on.
The situation was quite differ- ent when East doubled. South was careful to go up with the ace of clubs at the first trick. It was then just a matter of limiting the loss to one club, one spade, and one trump.
