The originally suggested bid would be acceptable by most aggressive bidders today - double. East introduced hearts and South bid spades, duly raised to game by partner.

As I have the power to ask you to bid one hand and play as declarer with another thirteen cards, please make your customary switch of the seats. In this way I can make you justify your very aggressive bidding! Playing an old fashioned top-of-nothing West leads heart9, overtaken by East who switches to diamond3.

What now?
