 North now knows from the bid- ding that his partner does not have Q club and, while North may feel that six hearts can be made, five hearts is . good pass, because if he bids six hearts the opponents will take c sacrifice of seven clubs, as they are not culnerable. East cannot afford to bid six clubs for fear of pushing his opponents into six hearts.
 When the hand was played, East opened the ace of clubs, which I think is bad. A diamond 'is the best opening on the hand, and ! think 1t can be reasoned out.
