Local Club – 2020. Hand supplied by Eros

* West alerted East’s 2? bid and when asked described it as “weak”.
** When North “passed”, South alerted and without being asked described it as “denying a spade stop”.

The final 3? contract by East went two off, when declarer played a small spade towards dummy (losing to both the ?J and the ?K). East now called the Director.

Director!

East somewhat irate, now told the Director that he would have played the spades differently if he had not been mis-led by South’s remark, and also South should not have given an explanation.
