Sometimes A Double
Is Too Informative
BY WILLIAM E. McKENNEY
F
sometimes happens that in trying to give information to your partner, you also give your opponent the information ho needs to make his contract.
In today's hand, for example, South opened the bidding with one spade and West doubled. When North bid two spades and East passed, South knew that all the adverse strength was in the West hand. He then bld four spades and all passed
On the opening lend of the king of diamonds East dropped the nine-spot. West cashed the ace and then the queen of dia: monds, Enst showing out on the third round and discarding a small heart. The fourth diamond was led by West. Enst ruffed

with the three of spades and declarer over-ruffed with the
Ave.
Now, wilhoût the informatory double, declarer probably would have picked up the outstanding trumps and played for 3-3 break in clubs. But with the information indicated by the double, South played all of his trumps, forcing West to make two discards. He could not let go a club, so he discarded-two hearts, leaving the blank king of hearts in a hand.
Declarer now played the ace, king and queen of clubs, and on the third club East showed out. South now had an exact count on the West band. He knew that __West_had_originally_held_three hearts, and he should have had the king to make the Informo- tory double. As he had already discarded two hearts, he must now be down to the blank king. Therefore, declarer led the ace of hearts, plcked up the klog. and the queen was good.
