2§ = Stayman relay.
East may not have a 4-card major, so West must alert.
3§ = Natural and forcing, but many partnerships
use 3§ as a relay.
3© = 5-card suit.

3¨ = Fourth suit forcing,
demanding more information.
3NT = The only descriptive bid left.
4ª = North's hand will be of much more value in
4ª. South must have a singleton in spades, for
with 5+/5+ in the reds or 0544, he would have responded differently to 3¨.

With a spade more, South would have tried the weaker part of Stayman relay. With this
hand, such action may lead to a 4-2 fit in hearts or diamonds, or a 3-3 fit in spades.
