1¨ = North downgrades for his 4333-pattern.
2§ = Negative free bid, i.e., 5+ suit and 8-11 hcp.
2NT = Give South 2 more hearts and two clubs less, and he will have sound reasons to pass
it out.

West's 1st double = Promising exactly 3-card ª-support.
3§ = One round force.
3ª = Asking for ª-stopper in case North is interested in 3NT only. South can't be too
sure of the good ©-fit.
West's 2nd double = For penalties and ª-lead; should have one top honor at least.

1ª = Promising 5-card ª-suit, since South would make negative double with only 4
spades. North must alert this bid.
Dbl = Showing exactly 3-card ©-support.
2¨ = Preference. The 5-2 fit ¨-fit has been proven, where 2§ may well be played in a
4-3 fit, if South dares to pass.
North would consider to have South played 2ª in the 5-2 fit at matchpoints only.
