Two Spade Call, Three No Trumps, and a Narrow Escape
In a classic hand North overcalled two spades after West opened two clubs. South rebid two no trump and North again forced to three no trump. East doubled, leaving South with five tricks and East-West 700 points. If North had passed the lower contract, West would likely make two or three clubs for a small plus, illustrating how the Roth negative double could steer them to a safer result and two diamonds for South.
