    Lead directing bids are very useful. This week's deal shows the utility.

    Ruai Trophy quarter final was played between ACLA & Kini. A S Vishwanathan playing for Kini was able to bid a cold game over his partner's lead directing double.

    West opened 1 S to which East replied with Bergen raise.ShyamSundar found it appropriate to make lead directing double of artificial 3 D bid by East which prompted Vishu to try for game in 5 D.

    Vishu scored his game easily where as contract at other table was just 2 S by EW and Kini's team gained 13 IMPs due to the lead directing bid.
