This is a weak bid, but the most advanced players are now open- ing hands of very moderate strength in third position to pro tect & partner who may have pass- ed considerable strength,
East doubled, South passed, and West responded with one spade. Of course North would have suffered a heavy penalty had the double been passed, but he was not vulnerable and the ultimate result was much more profitable for East and West.
East bid two clubs, but West now responded with four clubs. This is a highly constructive bid from which East could draw wealth of inferences,
It showed at least four clubs in the West hand and considerable side strength. West apparently had sufficient strength to have bid two spades over the double and his reason for not doing so inst have been a spade sult of only four cards.

The strength shown by jump in clubs could only consist) of the ace and king of spades or the ace and a queen of spades plus the king of diamonds,
Furthermore, West must bel abort in hearts because nearly all of the hearts are accounted for by previous bidding and East's own holding. Having thus formed a complete picture of partner's hand East was fully Justified in bidding six clubs, which became the final contract.
The Play.
