South now is confronted with quite a problem. His partner has made a cue bid in spades, showing no losing spades. Due to the fact that South holds a singleton spade, it looks very much as though North holds the ace of spades rather than a void, and, if this is the case, undoubtedly a grand slam in no trump can be made.
However, South should not guess his proper declaration la to pass. This is a forcing pass, requiring partner either to bid seven по trump or to double.

Naturally, without the ace spades, North is forced to double. If North's cue bid had been based on the ace of spades, the grand slam In no trump could be made.
This is a fine example of the forcing pass, and is a bid for which our renders should watch carefully.
