2© = Jacóby transfer:
5+ ª-suit, unlimited hcp count. Needs no alert
in Europe, since even gorillas play it.
4ª = East should not worry about slam or 5¨.

3© = Following the principle: jump
cue = limit raise or better.
3NT = ©-stopper, and 14+ hcp.
4¨ = ¨-control,
slamtry in §, of course.
4© = ©-control.
With this hand, it's better to allow West to initiate RKCB
sequence.
4NT = RKCB for clubs.
5ª = 2 or 5 aces, and, the queen of trumps (or
common possession of more than 10 trumps).

Dbl = Negative, showing 4-card ª-suit, 12+ hcp, or both.
Rdb = Showing precisely 3-card ©-support.
2¨ = East can't rebid 1NT without ©-stopper, and can certainly not afford to allow 1©** to stand.
3¨ = Should be invitational or better, keeping
3© as a preemptive weapon, in order to cut NS
off.
