Lazard double and auction bridge notes in old column
The article discusses Sidney Lazard’s double for no trump against lead directing, using Stayman responses and a three no trump contract. It recalls Elwell’s 1904 American Convention idea, compares hearts leads, and asks why Lazard chose that signal while noting possible heart lengths and the implication for declarer strategy.
