1: An invitational 3§ would be an underbid, for West nearly has 8 playing tricks. If
East would have responded anything but
1©, West's hand would have been worth a rebid showing a 6-card suit
and 18-19 hcp, i.e. 3NT.
2: East must stay alert, for 2NT would only show 6-7 hcp.
Analysis to follow.

1: A positive response of 2©, 2ª, 3§ or 3¨ requires KQxxx or better in the suit,
and 8+ hcp.
2: Balanced hand, 22-23 hcp.
3: Jacóby transfer.
4: Quantitative, implying a bad ª-suit.
This appears the only way to avoid 6ª. Note, that 6ª requires East to hold ªKx or
ªKxx, where 6NT also makes when ©J drops within 3 rounds.
More analysis to follow. Feedback welcome..
