1NT = One round force, i.e., several types of hands, and 5-11
hcp. Bergen raises require 4-card suits, and 2© is kind of chicken.
2¨ = A jump rebid of 3¨ requires 17 good hcp at least.
2© = South must downgrade his hand for his
stiff king in partner's second suit, and his 3 baby trumps.
More analysis to follow.

3¨ = 2¨
would be an underbid with this nice 17-count. A stiff ace in partner's suit is not nearly
a waste as a stiff king or queen.
4© = Signoff. 3© would be slamtry.

1NT = We tend to upgrade 5332-hands with 17 hcp, but we must be cautious with
queen-doubletons.
2© = Jacoby transfer
to 2ª, promising 5+ spades and unlimited hcp
count.
2NT = The way to 'reject' a transfer with 17 hcp and 3-card support
for the suit transferred to. With 4+ spades, we would 'reject' with 3ª.
4© = Repeating the transfer
to make the much stronger East declarer. 4© can
never be misunderstood, for it makes no sense to search for another fit, when the 8-card
fit in the (other) major has been proven.
