Our correspondent made the obvious double. Not unreasonable, until you look at the hands. This was not East's favourite deal of the competition either, for after making a dubious 4spade bid, he duly plonked his singleton diamond on the table. East-West did not trouble the scorers as declarer racked up plus 1250.

However, I must say I have a certain sympathy with East - even 6spade doubled goes for less than when conceding 650 or 680 against 4heart. What's a bloke to do? Or a blokette for that matter?

You should agree with your partner whether bids at this vulnerability can include this type of overcall .
