1© = In Walsh approach, West frequently bypasses 4+ ¨-suits, so East must alert.
3ª = Splinter: 4+ ©-support, singleton or void in hearts, and (perhaps mild) slam
interest.
4© = Signoff, as West has only 10 hcp, and East's splinter hits 60% of West's hcp
strength.
Discussion to follow.

2§ = Inverted minor raise: 5+ §-support, 10+ hcp, 1RF. East upgrades for his
excellent clubs.
4NT = RKCB.
5§ = 1 or 4 out of 5 aces, 1403-variation. If East happens to respond 5¨ (0 or 3 aces),
West can still bid 5NT to stop below slam, since 5© would ask for queen of trumps, and
5ª for specific kings.
