mb|p|mb|1D|mb|1S|mb|d!|nt|drewsky: The 'PAR' result here is 6@D doubled by south....since east-west can make 5@S|pg||

pc|hK|pc|hA|pc|h7|pg||

nt|drewsky: now morse correctly returns the 8 of @C to indicate entries in both spades and hearts|pg||
nt|drewsky: Wolff should return a spade for several reasons|pg||
nt|drewsky: 1. if he's wrong, they will still get their heart trick.|pg||
nt|drewsky: 2. His partner is unlikely to have 6 card spade support and double in front of him.|pg||
