2§ = East's clubs are too much better to overcall 2NT (5+/5+ in the reds, the two
lower unbid suits), or even overcall 1©. East bids his best suit now,
hoping to get a chance to show ©-length later.
Dbl = Negative: 4-card ª-suit, 12+ hcp, or both.
3ª = Ultimate invite to game.
More analysis to follow.

2§ = One of several types of strong hands.
2¨ = Semi-automatic relay. A positive suit-responce requires
KQxxx or AJTxx in the suit, and 8+ hcp.
2© = Semiforcing or better hand with 5+ hearts and 4+ in
another suit. Forcing one more bid from East.
2ª = Second relay, may be second negative.
3§ = Semiforcing hand, natural.
4§ = Slamtry, designating clubs as trumps.
4¨, 4© and 4ª = First or second round control of the suit
mentioned.
4NT = Roman KeyCard Blackwood.
5NT = 2 or 4 out of 5 Aces ('even number'), and some void.

1NT = One round force, i.e., one of several patterns, no
4-card ª-support, and 5-11 hcp.
2ª = Guarantees 6-card suit, since North is bound to rebid his longer or lower minor with
some 5332.
3§ = 6+ clubs, invitational. We do not treat this as a signoff, for that can hardly be
useful when opener has already shown 6+ spades.
3NT = Balanced maximum, with both reds stopped.
South has no reason to correct to 4ª. His side rates to have double stoppers in both
reds, so North is most likely to have the time to set up (at least) one of the black
suits.
