2ª = Muiderberg weak-2, i.e., 5ª, 4+ of a minor, and 5-10
hcp. When using the name Muiderberg, a 6-card major is
not permitted, while a 6-card minor is allowed
under current Brown Sticker regulations.
4ª = Can be preemptive or relatively strong, but denies slam
interest.

1NT = Balanced hand, no 4-card major.
3§ = Forcing to game, i.e., from 17 good hcp.
3NT = The most practical shot. If South bids his ª-stopper with 3ª, he is virtually
begging for the dangerous ©-lead, after which South faces the difficult task to guess the
clubs right. If West doubles 3ª for penalties and a ª-lead, South will never make 5§ or
5¨.

We do not recommend South to overcall 2§, though he will come a long way this time.

Dbl = Showing precisely 3-card ©-support, and enough strength to warrant West a play
for 3©.
Rdb = Showing precisely 3-card ª-support, and enough strength to warrant North a play for
2ª.
3© = Non-invitational, just predicting little or no defense against 2ª. If West wants to
invite, he could, for instance, pass it on to East.
North, East and South have nothing left to mention over 3©.
