LIGHTNER DOUBLE

A double of a freely bid slam by the player not on lead to the first trick and that calls for an unusual lead. The suit called for is normally dummy’s main side suit and often shows (against a suit slam) a void in the suit or (against a no-trump slam) two fast winners in the suit.

On a diamond lead, you expect to defeat the slam with a diamond ruff and the ♣A.
