Dbl = Usually balanced with 15-17 hcp,
but East can't afford with this powerful hand.
Rdb = Sort of SOS, showing
weak hand and asking NT-opener to bid his 4-card suits up-the-line.
2¨ = Natural.
Dbl = For penalties.
2© = Asking North to pass with equal or better hearts, or bid 2ª with better spades.
East leads ¨K to the ace. North returns a § to the queen, cashes ªK, and parts with ªQ
to the king. The bidding and play give him enough hints on how to deal with hearts for 10
tricks.

Pass = In 1st and 2nd chair, North
downgrades for his stiff queen of hearts.
Dbl = Strong type of takeout double. South
is too strong for an ordinary overcall of 2¨.
2© = Purely obstructive.
3ª = 5+ suit, slightly short of opening strength.
If North opens 1ª, he can't blame South for going on to a slam, which requires
cooperation from spades and diamonds.
