Of course, North has no intention of permitting the deal to be played at anything but Hearts. On North's Demand bid South must bid four No Trumps as three would show no additional values over the original bid.

To fool-proof the deal would have been absurdly simple! When West showed up with four trumps, South should not have given up the Spades. After the two losing Spades were trumped, all the trumps could be taken and the Club led. Retaining command of the Spades would have been the star play A deal played at the Cavendish Club of New York showed a neat situ- ation.
