# 'Lightner'

At the first table East West were silent until the bidding reached the six level, but when South bid 7club West felt he had found the ideal opportunity to make a 'Lightner' Double, asking partner to find an unusual lead.

Unfortunately it would have to have been a very unusual lead, because in bridge it is customary for West to lead the first card when South is declarer. North-South scored +2230.
