2§ = Stayman relay. Very many Dutch players will respond 3NT
with this hand, therewith showing (yet another) dogmatic flaw in the freethinking, they
presume to adhere to, and often claim the copyright of. If East has a 5-card major, he
will have a doubleton elsewhere. If the doubleton is not in diamonds, game will generally
play better in the major 5-3 fit.
