In the bidding North's double of two clubs was of course for takeout purposes in the hope that his partner could bid a major suit. However, poor South held nothing but a string of diamonds, and thus was forced to bid 'his opponents' suit. East's double was very sound, but his bad play gave his opponents their contract.

ANSWER: Bid three diamonds,-a strong bid. If you pass the double of one spade, it may be left in. Your hand is not suitable for a redouble, but a two-diamond takeout does not show your full strength. :
