 Recent years have seen tremen- dous strides in defensive tactics one of the most important of which is the lead directing convention which I have frequently discussed.

 without the convention, East would automatically have led the club jack, a singleton honor of his partners bid suit, and the contract would just as automatically have been made. The double, however. asked fer the lead of the suit first bid by dummy, in this case dia- lmond. That opening defeats slam which with any other Iced would have been made.
