East's dbl = A negative double generally requires 4-card
suit(s) in unbid major(s), or else, 12+ hcp. East has no choice this time: he cannot raise
spades, for he only has 3-card support, and the cuebid of 3§ would force game.
2ª = For this voluntary bid, West guarantees 6-card suit.
North's dbl = Support double, promising exactly 3-card
©-support.
4ª = The 9th spade is the little extra EW need. If finesses in § and/or © are to be
taken, they will probably work.
