The bidding now re- verted to West, and while ordin- arily he would not have thought of doubling an under-game contract, he reasoned that his opponents were taking undue liberties and were quite likely to be considerably beyond their depth.

West's double, based largely on psychological reasoning, proved very fruitful. The hapless Declar- er was held to three trump tricks and the Ace of Hearts in other words, a 1,400-point penalty simply because North and South didn't know when to give up.
