Inside outs and doubles on a bridge deal
John le Carre notes on espionage mindset as bridge players face a tricky penalty double. In the described hand East opens spades, South overcalls 1NT, North raises to 3NT, and East doubles for penalties to try to force a lead. A heart lead by West would allow East to rattle five tricks, while a spade lead by West lets South claim 11 tricks. South can run to four diamonds if North passes, but minus 130 remains cheaper than minus 660.
